Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Dividend in 2016 = $20,000

Preferred Shares = 400

Par Value of Preferred Stock = 400 × 10 = $4000

Rate of Dividend of Preferred Stock = 5%

(a) Dividend to preferred Shareholders:

= Par Value of Preferred Stock × Rate of Dividend

= $4000  × 5%

= $200

(b) Dividend to Common Shareholders:

= Total Dividend - Dividend to Preferred Shareholders

= $20,000  - $200

= $19,800
