Common stock holders' dividend = $8000
Explanation:
A cumulative preferred stock is one whose dividends are accumulated in arrears and are to paid in the following year(s), if the company fails to pay or partially pay the dividends in a certain year. The yearly dividend on preferred stock is,
Preferred stock dividend = 10000 * 200 * 0.07 = $140000
As the dividends on preferred stock are in arrears for one year, the company will pay a dividend this year on preferred stock of,

Thus, out of the announced dividend of $288000, $280000 will be paid to the preferred stock holders while the remaining $8000 will be paid to the common stock holders.
