*** Since the preference shares are cumulative preference shares, the dividend get accumulated if it is not paid in a particular year and will be paid in the year of sufficient profit before paying any dividend to common shareholders. In second year there is only a dividend of $60,000. But dividend payable to Preference shareholders is $75000. Due to deficiency of fund only $60,000 will be paid in year2 and balance $15000 will be paid in third year.
