Explanation / Answer

Dividend Rate on preferred stock is simply the preferred dividends amount expressed as a % of total preferred stock outstanding

Preferred Stock Dividend Rate = 30000 / 600000 = 5%

The preferred dividend rate does not have anything to do with the common stock , retained earnings or treasury stock.

However preferred dividends would reduce the retained earnings balance by the dividend amount
