Describe the features and characteristics of preferred stock as discussed in your textbook

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: I know that a firm can issue multiple classes of preferred stock, each with a different set dividend. The cumulative feature, which gets all of my unpaid dividends in arrears caught up, protects me from omitted dividends. The adjustable rate allows the value of my stock to remain relatively constant. I know that not all stock is cumulative or has an adjustable rate. I can purchase convertible stock that can be exchanged for common stock. I can purchase callable preferred stock, but it may be called in when interest rates drop.
