Explanation / Answer

Ans. Determining total dividend and per share dividend.

Year           Total dividend               Preferred dividend   preferred dividend per share     equity dividend    per share

                                                      (4000X100X.08)        (32000/4000)

1                   $24000                              $24000     $6                                             0

2                   $32000                              $32000                   $8                                                0

3                   $40000                              $32000                   $8                                                $8000      $.15

*Preferred stock annual dividend is $32000, and for first because of profit less than minimum dividend, so dividend is extent upto profit,

** equity dividend available after paying preferred dividend, first two year is no equity dividend, and 3 yrs after paying preferred dividend only $8000, is paid to equity and total equity no of share is 52000, per share equity dividend is $.15
