Par value = $50
4.5% cumulative
Common stock:
Number of shares = 10000
Par value = $10

The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:
Preferred Stock dividend = 1000 × 0.045 × 50 = $2250
Unpaid dividend from year 1 = $2250 - $1000 = $1250
Year 2 dividend = $2250
Total dividend due in year 2 = $(1250 + 2250) = $3500
