Simply because you can't make something out of nothing. If the yield is 100%, all your starting substances have been converted to the desired products. Where would you get the atoms for any more?

Colemans preferred stock is riskier to investors than its debt yet the yield to investors is lower than the yield to maturity on the debt Does this suggest that you have made a mistake?

Corporate investors own most preferred stock, because 70 percent of preferred dividends received by corporations are nontaxable. Therefore, preferred often has a lower before-tax yield than the before-tax yield on debt issued by the same company. Note, though, that the after-tax yield to a corporate investor and the after-tax cost to the issuer are higher on preferred stock than on debt.
