Explanation / Answer

a). Annual Cash Dividend = $4.75 * (325000 - 40600)

= $4.75 * 284400

= $1350900

b). Preferred Dividend :-

= $50 * 5%

= $2.5 per share

Annual cash dividend = Share outstanding * Dividend per share

= 68500 * $2.5

= $171250

c) Preferred Dividend :-

= $100 * 7.4%

= $7.4 per share

Annual Cash Dividend = Share outstanding * Dividend per share

= $7.4 * 57600

= $426240
