    a) Preferred dividend is $13,596 and Common stock is $86,404

    b) Preferred dividend is $ 40,788 and Common stock is $59,212

    c) Preferred dividend is $55,904.66 and Common stock is $44,095.34

    Explanation:

    Preferred dividend = 2200 * 103 *.06 = $ 13,596

    Preferred stock = 2200 * 103 = $ 226,600

    Common stock = 5800 * 60 = $ 348,000

    Distribution of current dividend and past dividend to preference shares = $40,788

    Distribution of dividend to common stock = $ 348,000 *.06 = $ 20,880

    Surplus profit after distribution of dividend to both shareholders

    = $100,000 - $40,788 - $20,880

    = $ 38,332

    Preferred dividend = [38,332 * 226,600] : [ (226,600 + 348,000) ]

    = [38332 * 226600] : 574600

    = $15,116.66

    Common stock = $38,332 - $15,116.66 = $ 23215.34

    (b) Preferred dividend = $13,596 for current year + ($13,596 * 2) for past 2 years

    = $13,596 + $27,192

    = $ 40,788

    Common stock = $100,000 - $40,788

    = $59,212

    (c) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating

    Preferred dividend = $40,788 + $ 15,116.66

    = $55,904.66

    Common stock = $23,215.34 + $20,880

    = $44,095.34
