Explanation / Answer

1)current market value of common stock =shares outstanding *market price

     = 4000*181

       =724000

2)par value :preferred shares= 75000/1000=$ 75 per share

common shares= 140000/4000=$ 35 per share

3)book value for common shares =[paid in capital +retained earning ]/number of shares

        =[140000+350000]/4000

        = 122.50 per share

4)Preferred dividend for 2 years :75000*.05= 3750 per year or 3750*2 = 7500

Book value per share for common shares :[140000+350000-7500]/4000 = $ 120.63 per share

5-1)Preferred dividend= 7500 past year+ 3750 current = 11250

common stock dividend =15250-11250= 4000

5-2)common stock dividend per share =4000/4000 =$ 1 per share
