Imaging Inc., a developer of radiology equipment, has stock outstanding as follows: 22,000 shares of cumulative preferred 1% stock, $120 par, and 73,000 shares of $5 par common. During its first four years of operations, the following amounts were distributed as dividends: first year, $17,600; second year, $45,200; third year, $73,460; fourth year, $127,870.
Compute the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years. Round all answers to two decimal places. If no dividends are paid in a given year, enter "0".
1st Year | 2nd Year | 3rd Year | 4th Year | |
Preferred Dividend | $120*1%*22,000 = $26,400 | $120*1%*22,000 = $26,400 | $120*1%*22,000 = $26,400 | $120*1%*22,000 = $26,400 |
Preferred Dividend paid | $ 17,600 | $8,800+$26,400 = $35,200 | $ 26,400 | $ 26,400 |
Preferred dividend carreid forward | $26,400 - $17,600 = $8,800 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
Dividend available for common stock | $ - | $45,200 - $35,200 = $10,000 | $73,460-$26,400 = $47,060 | $127,870-$26,400 = $101,470 |
Dividend per share (Preferred stock) ($120*1%) | 1.20 | 1.20 | 1.20 | 1.20 |
Dividend per share (Common stock) | 0 | $10,000/73,000 = $0.14 | $47,060/73,000 = $0.64 | $101,470/73,000 = $1.39 |
