If the preferred stock is cumulative, dividends not paid in earlier years must also be paid before anything is paid out to common stockholders.

If the preferred stock is participating, after both preferred and common stock holders receive a specified level of dividends, balance dividend distributions are shared with common stockholders in the ratio of the respective par values of participating preference stock and common stock.

Number of preferred shares = $120,000 / $20 = 6,000

Preferred stock dividends = 6,000 shares * $20 par * 8% = $9,600

Common stock dividends = 15,000 shares * $5 par * 8% = $6,000

a.

Common shareholder's dividends = $9,600

Preferred shareholder's dividends = $70,000 - $9,600 = $60,400

b.

Common shareholder's dividends = $9,600 * 3 = $28,800

Preferred shareholder's dividends = $70,000 - $28,800 = $41,200

c.

Common shareholder's dividends = $9,600 + ($70,000 - $9,600 - $6,000) * 6,000 / 21,000 = $25,143

Preferred shareholder's dividends = $6,000 + ($70,000 - $9,600 - $6,000) * 15,000 / 21,000 = $44,857

d.

Common shareholder's dividends = $28,800 + ($70,000 - $28,800 - $6,000) * 6,000 / 21,000 = $38,857

Preferred shareholder's dividends = $6,000 + ($70,000 - $28,800 - $6,000) * 15,000 / 21,000 = $31,143
