Can you kindly which formula was used to calculate the cost of equity: preference. I used the formula as per the study notes but its not giving the same answer.

I do not know which study notes and which formula you are referring to. It is the dividend growth model formula as rearranged (as I explain in my free lectures). The dividend is 4c per share, the ex-div market value is 40c per share, and the growth rate is zero. Therefore the cost = 4/40 = 10%.
