Explanation / Answer

Q1. The dividend of $ 292000 is payable on common stock of 8000. Hence, on common stock of 100 shares, the dividend to be received is (100/8000)*292000 = $ 3650. Option d. is the correct answer.

Q 2. The dividend receivable on 2000 shares of 6 % $ 100 preferred stock is 2000*100 *6/100 = $ 12000. The balance amount of $ 292000-$12000 = $ 280000 is to be distributed among the common stock holders. Thus, on common stock of 100 shares, the dividend to be received is (100/8000)*280000 = $3500. Option c. is the correct answer.
