During the most recent year, dividends paid totaled $100,000; in the prior year, dividends paid totaled $60,000. Three independent situations are listed below. Write out and circle your answer for the amount of dividends paid out to preferred and common shareholders this year. (Hint: How will the $100,000 be split up?)

Explanation / Answer
Preferred stock is non-cumulative and non-participating:
Before last year
Dividend = 7500*(9%*100) = 7500*9 = 67500 > 60000
Hence paid dividend = 60000 (60000 / 7500 = 8 per preferred stoc
Common equity dividend = 0
Last year
Total = 100000
Prefered = 9 * 7500 = 67500
Common = 100000 - 67500 = 32500
Preferred stock is cumulative and non-participating:
Before last year
Dividend = 7500*(9%*100) = 7500*9 = 67500 > 60000
Hence paid dividend = 60000 (60000 / 7500 = 8 per preferred stock)
Common equity dividend = 0
Last year
Total = 100000
Prefered = 9 * 7500 = 67500 this year part
As it is cumulative last year pending has to be paid
last year remaining = 7500
Total preferred = 67500 + 7500 = 75000
Common = 100000 - 75000 = 25000
Preferred stock is cumulative and participating:
Before last year
Dividend = 7500*(9%*100) = 7500*9 = 67500 > 60000
Hence paid dividend = 60000 (60000 / 7500 = 8 per preferred stock)
Common equity dividend = 0
Last year
Total = 100000
Prefered = 9 * 7500 = 67500 this year part
As it is cumulative last year pending has to be paid
last year remaining = 7500
Preferred with cumulative = 67500 + 7500 = 75000
Remaining 25000 allocated in the ratio of thier values b/w common holders and preferred holders
Preferred value = 7500*100 = 750000
Common stock = 15000*10 = 150000
Wp = 750000 / (750000 + 150000) = 83.33 %
Wc = 1 - 83.33% = 16.67 %
Dividend to preferred = 25000*83.33 % = 20833.33
Total preferred = 67500 + 7500 + 20833.333 = 95833.33
Common = 25000*16.67% = 4166.67
