Herring · Answer 1

preferred 10.2 per share

common 3.49 per share

Explanation:

the preferred stock will receive their dividends firsht:

12,000shares x $102 each x 12% return = 122.400‬

$122,400/12,000 shares = $10.2 per share

available for common stock:

220,000 declared dividends - 122,400 preferred = 97,600

$97,600 / 28,000 common stock = 3,4857 = $ 3.49
