Answer 1

Calculate dividend per share :

Preferred Dividend = 12000*120*4% = $57600

Compute the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years. Round all answers to two decimal places. If no dividends are paid in a given year, enter "0".

	1st year	2nd year	3rd year	4th year
Preferred Stock (dividend per share)	38640/12000 = 3.22	76560/12000 = 6.38	57600/12000 = 4.80	57600/12000 = 4.80
Common stock (dividend per share)	0	10000/40000 = 0.25	49040/40000 = 1.23	72400/40000 = 1.81
