Answer: $160,000
Explanation:
Given the following:
Par value = $100
Rate of Dividend = 8% = 0.08
Number of shares = 10,000
Preferred Dividend is calculated thus:
Par value * rate of Dividend × number of preferred stock
$100 × 0.08 × 10,000 = $80,000
Since year 4 Dividend wasn't paid
Total year 5 Dividend equals:
(Year 4 Dividend + year 5 dividend)
$(80,000 + 80,000) = $160,000
