    The correct answer is $3,900.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

    Dividend per preferred stock = $20 * 7.5% = $1.5

    Total dividend payable = 2,300 * $1.5 = $3,450

    Dividend paid = $3,000

    So, outstanding balance = $450

    Now, dividend payable in 2nd year = 2,300 * $1.5 = $3,450

    Outstanding balance from 1st year = $450

    So, total payable = $3,900
