Explanation / Answer

Answer: 1

The price is given at $175 per share

Answer:2

Preferred: 75000/1000 = $75 per share

Common: 200000/4000 = $50 per share

Answer:3

Preferred:If no dividends are in arrears, the book values per share of the preferred stock is same as the par value $75 per share.

Common: (625000 - 75000)/4000 = $137.5 per share

Answer:4

Preferred:

2 year dividend for preferred = 75000*5%*2 = 7500 in arrears

75000+7500 = 82500 total preferred equity

82500/1000 = $82.5 per share

Common: (625000 - 82500)/4000 = $135.62 per share
