a. The amount that will go to the preferred stockholders is $400,000.
b. The amount of the declared dividend that will be available for common stock dividends is $200,000 ($600,000 - $400,000).
Data and Calculations:
Cumulative Preferred Stock Outstanding = 100,000 shares
Dividends per share = $2
Cumulative Preferred Dividend last year = $200,000 (100,000 x $2)
Preferred Dividend this year = $200,000 (100,000 x $2)
Total preferred dividend to be paid this year = $400,000
Thus, the Preferred Stockholders will be paid $400,000 ($200,000 for last year and $200,000 for this year).
