Answer:
1. $28,800
$103,200
2. $28,800
$103,200
3. $86,400
$45,600
Explanation:
1. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Shares × Par value × Percentage
= 3,000 shares × $120 × 8%
= $28,800
The dividend paid to Common stockholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders
= $132,000 - $28,800
= $103,200
2. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Shares × Par value × Percentage
Note :- Because preferred stocks are non-cumulative in nature, the company is not allowed to pay last two years' dividends and preferred stocks are liable for payment only for the current year.
= 3,000 shares × $120 × 8%
= $28,800
The dividend paid to Common stockholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders
= $132,000 - $28,800
= $103,200
3. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Shares × Par value × Percentage × Number of years
Note: Since preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the company is forced to pay last two years' dividends along with the current year's dividend.
= 3,000 shares × $120 × 8 % × 3 years
= $86,400
The dividend paid to Common stockholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders
= $132,000 - $86,400
= $45,600
