Answer:

Current Yield = 0.05882 or 5.882% rounded off to 5.88%

Explanation:

A current yield refers to the annual return that a security provides based on the interest or dividend payments it makes expressed as a percentage of it current price. Thus, the current yield on preferred stock can be calculated as follow,

Current Yield - Preferred stock = Dividend per year / Current price

Dividend per year =  100 * 0.06 = $6 per year

Current Yield = 6 / 102

Current Yield = 0.05882 or 5.882% rounded off to 5.88%
