Preference Equity ex-dividend vs cum-dividend (Cost of Capital)

HHimanshu5y ago
Hi John, Just wanted to clarify, while calculating cost of preference share capital, if the question is silent on whether the market price given is ex-dividend or cum-dividend. What should we assume?

Unless the question says something different we always assume market prices are ex-dividend.
