Explanation:
Dividend to Preference shareholder = 15000 shares * $ 50 * 16 % + $ 16000 ( arrears)
Dividend to Preference shareholder = $ 120000 + $ 16000
Dividend to Preference shareholder = $ 136000
( always preference shareholders to be paid over common shareholder )
Total Dividend to be paid = $ 240000
Remaining dividend to be paid to common shareholder = $ 240000 - $ 136000
Dividend to common shareholder = $ 104000
