Dividend rate on preferred stock is 6%
The arrears of $73,800 would not impact the retained earnings,they are to be declared before the impact is felt in retained earnings.
Explanation:
Common stock outstanding =issued common stock -treasury stock
=565,000-6,900
==558,100
Stated value of common stock=value of shares issued/shares issued
=$2,260,000/565,000
=$4.00 per share
Par value of preferred stock=value of shares issued/shares issued
=$787,500/7500
=$105 per share
preferred dividends=Preferred share capital *Dividend rate on preferred stock
preferred dividends is $47,250
preferred share capital is $787,500
dividend rate on preferred stock is unknown
$47,250=$787,500*Dividend rate on preferred stock
Dividend rate on preferred stock=$47,250/$787,500
=6%
The arrears of $73,800 would not impact the retained earnings,they are to be declared before the impact is felt in retained earnings.
