Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The intrinsic value of the preferred stock can be calculated using the formula for the constant growth Dividend Discount Model (DDM) when the growth rate is zero: P0=DrP_0 = \frac{D}{r}P0=rD , where P0P_0P0 is the intrinsic value, DDD is the dividend, and rrr is the required rate of return. Plugging in the given values: P0=3.000.09=33.33P_0 = \frac{3.00}{0.09} = 33.33P0=0.093.00=33.33 .
