a) Interest on bonds payment

100*5000*15% = 75000

b) Corporate Income taxes = (EBIT-Interest)* tax rate

(200,000-75000)*0.32 = 40,000

c) Dividends on preferred shares

1000*100*12%= 12,000

d) Dividends on ordinary shares

Total Dividend- dividend on preferred shares

(EBIT-Interest-Tax)*payout ratio-preferred dividend

(200,000-75,000-40000)*(1.04)-12000 = 39000
