Dividend to be paid to Preference shareholders in 2014= No of Preference shares*par value per share*Percentage of Shares

=2500*50*4%

=$5000

Dividends declared duing 2014=$3000, Thus Preference share holders need to be paid $2000 , in 2015, as preference shares are cumulative in nature.

Dividend to pe paid to Preference shareholders in 2015= $5000+$2000

=$7000.

Dividend to be paid to common share holders= $18000-$7000

=$11000

Thus B will be the answer.

Bad White [126]
