Explanation / Answer

In commulative prefrence shares the dividend is carried forwad if remain unpaid during the years

So preference dividend per year = 25,000 * 90 * 2%= $45,000

So 2009 total dividend 24,000 so that means all is distributed amount preference share holders

24,000 / 25,000 = .96 per share

and the remaining 21,000 will be paid in the next year

2010 total dividend 10,000 all to preference shareholders

10,000/25,000 = .40 per share

remaining dividend 21,000 + 45,000-10,000 = $56,000

Now total dividend in 2011 $126,000 that means 56,000 carried forward + 45,000 current years

total dividend = 56,000 + 45,000 = $101,000 , remaining to common stock = $126,000 - $101,000 = $25,000

Year total dividends preferred dividend Common dividends 2009 24,000 24,000 .96 per shares 2010 10,000 10,000 .40 2011 126,000 101,000 4.04 25,000 .25 2012 100,000 45,000 1.8 55,000 .55 2013 125,000 45,000 1.8 80,000 .80 2014 125,000 45,000 1.8 80,000 .80
