Explanation / Answer

Solution:1

Year...... Dividend total...... preferred dividends....... preferred per share ......common dividend......common per share

2008............ 28000...................28000......................28000/40000=0.7.........0..................................0

2009...........44000.....................44000......................44000/40000=1.1.........0...................................0

2010..........48000......................48000......................48000/40000=1.2.........0..................................0

2011..........60000......................60000......................60000/40000=1.5.........0.................................0

2012.........76000.......................76000.....................76000/40000=1.9.........0...................................0

2013.........140000.....................56000.....................56000/40000=1.4.........84000...................84000/50000=1.68

Working note:

2008 = total preferred dividend = 40000*2%*65 = 52000 dividend each year. In 2008 only 28000 was paid, therefore, 24000 was in arrears.

2009 = 52000-44000 = 8000 is in arrears.

2010 = 52000 -48000 = 4000 is in arrears.

Total dividend in arrears upto 2010 = 8000+24000+4000=36000

2011 = 60000 was paid. 52000 + 8000 of total dividend in arrears.

Remaining balance of dividend in arrears = 36000-8000= 28000

2012 = 76000 was paid = 52000+ 24000 of outstanding dividend.

2013 = 52000 for the current year + 4000 of outstanding dividend.

solution:2

Since there are no outstanding dividend at the end of six year period, annual dividend per share for preferred = 52000*6/40000*6 = 1.3 average annual dividend per share.

For the common shareholders, total dividend paid = 84000/50000*6 = 0.28 average annual dividend per share.

Solution:3

a) Return on initial investment = 1.3/57.50 = 2.2%

b) Return on initial investment= 0.28/5=5.6%
