Preferred dividends = preferred shares x Par value of 1 preferred stock x Preferred dividend rate
Preferred dividend = 6000 shares x 11% x $2 = $1320
Total dividend paid in year 1= $640
Preferred stockholders will receive a cash dividend of $640 in the first year. Because preferred stocks are not cumulative, there will be no preferred stock divided in arrears in year 1.
Arrear of dividends = $1320 - $640 = $680
Total dividend in year 2 = $2190
Dividend paid on common stock in year 2 = dividend paid in year 2 - Annual preferred dividends
=> 2190 - 1320 = $870
