Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

C) $1000

Explanation:

First lets calculate the cumulative preferred stock dividend for 2 years

(1000 * 10 ) * 5% = 500 / year

so for 2 years = $1000 since it is cumulative and not paid in one year is added to next year.

Total dividend payable = $2000

so for common stock whatever is left over is paid thus,

Common stock share = Total - Preferred cumulative = 2000 - 1000 = $1000
