The par value of the preferred stock per share (d) If the annual dividend on preferred stock is $48,960, what is the dividend rate on preferred stock? The dividend rateExplanation / Answer
a) Common stock outstanding = 569,000 shares (as shown in the stockholders equity section)
b) The stated value of the common stock = Paid in capital of common stock/Common stock outstanding
= $2,276,000/569,000 = $4 per share
c) The par value of preferred stock = Paid in Capital of preferred stock/Preferred stock outstanding
= $612,000/6,000 = $102
d) The dividend rate on preferred stock = (Annual dividend/Paid in capital of preferred stock)*100
= ($48,960/$612,000)*100 = 8%
e) If dividends of $72,700 were in arrears on preferred stock then the balance of Retained earnings would be reduced by the amount of arrears dividend as the preferred stock is of cumulative nature. Hence the unpaid dividend is accumulated in case of insufficient profits and paid in the year in which there is sufficient profits.
The Retained earnings balance = $1,164,000-$72,700 = $1,091,300
