If three people work for a company:
A, who has worked there for 5 years,
B, who has worked there for 20 years,
and C, who has worked there for 1 year,
B has seniority over A and C, A has seniority over C. In most companies, this would mean that barring other factors, C would be fired first because C has the lowest seniority. <span />
Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.
Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate
= (4700 x $50) x 5%
= 11750
Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued
= 11750
Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017
= 11750 +11750 -7900
= $15600

In the long run as firms have low barrier to entry more firms enter the market and supply shifts from S1 to S2. There is reduction in prices and profits start to fall. This is illustrated in the second diagram.
