    the preferred stok should receive at least 600,000 dollars per year

    In this case, as there are dividends in arrears the preferred stock will receive $5 dollars per share

    Explanation:

    per year the preferred stock should receive ut to $3 each

    there are 200,000 preferred shares outstanding

    200,000 shares x $3 dividend each = 600,000 dividend per year

    As dividends weren't apid in he previous three year the payment for the current year would be for this dividends in arrears plus the current year. this gives a grand total of 4 years: 2,400,000 dollars

    But, income for the period was for 1,000,000 so that is the maximun payment for the current year. On a per share basis:

    1,000,000 / 200,000 = $5
