3. Topper Corporation has 60,000 shares of $1 par value common stock and 16,000 shares of cumulative 7%, $100 par preferred stock outstanding. Topper has not paid a dividend for the prior year. If Topper declares a $1.95 per share dividend this year, what will be the total amount they must pay their shareholders?

16000*100*7%=112000

for two years because shares are cumulative=112000*2=224000

on common stock=60000*1.95=11700

company is not required to pay dividend of prior year on common stock

total dividend to be paid=224000+117000=341000
