Answer:
$2,150
Explanation:
Annual cumulative preferred stock dividend = 2,300 × $100 × 6.5% = $14,950
Cumulative preferred stock dividend carried forward to year 2 = $14,950 - $12,000 = $2,950
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable in year 2 = $14,950 + $2,950 = $17,900
Cumulative preferred stock dividend carried forward to year 3 = $17,900 - $17,000 = $900
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable in year 3 = $14,950 + $900 = $15,850
Dividend received by common shareholders during Year 3 = $18,000 - $15,850 = $2,150
