Answer:
The dividends payout to preferred stockholders is $113,400 as shown below.
Explanation:
The total dividends payable to holders of preferred shares can be computed thus:
Preferred shares dividends=9000*$90*14%
Preferred shares dividends =$113,400

See the images to get the answer.
Decision: Required rate of return = 16% = Cost of capital.
If Internal rate of return (IRR) > the cost of capital = Accept the project.
If Internal rate of return (IRR) < the cost of capital = Reject the project.
From the basis of the formula, we can accept the project A because the IRR of Project A (19%) is higher than the cost of capital (16%). On the other hand, we can reject the project B because the IRR of Project B (14%) is smaller than the cost of capital (14%).
