    Dividend for preferred stockholders = $9,000

    Dividend for Common stockholders = $13,000

    Explanation:

    Preferred Dividend = Total Value of Preferred share x Rate of preferred dividend

    Preferred Dividend = (1500 x $100) x 6%

    Preferred Dividend = $150,000 x 6%

    Preferred Dividend = $9,000

    Dividend for Common stockholders = $22,000 - $9,000

    Dividend for Common stockholders = $13,000

    Preferred dividend is an obligation like interest payment, it has to pay even there is a net loss for the year. From total dividend first pay the preferred dividend and the remaining balance will be shared between the common stockholders.
