Answer #1

Dividend per year for cumulative preference shareholders = 25,000 X $10 X 8% = $20,000 per year

Dividend is payable for preference shareholders for 2017, 2018, 2019 ie. 3 years.

= $20,000 X 3

= $60,000

$200,000 is available for dividend. $140,000 is remaining after paying dividend to preference shareholders. (ie. $200,000 - $60,000)

$140,000 to common stockholders
