Dividend entitled for Cumulative preference shareholders=25000*$150*2%
=$75000

The common stockholders are entitled to dividend only after paying to preference shareholders. In case of cumulative preference shareholders, if any dividends for previous years were missed, the same would be paid in the subsequent years before paying any dividend to common stockholders.

In 20Y1

Prefence shareholders' dividend = $75000

per share = $75000/25000 = $3 per share

Common shareholders' dividend = $150000-$75000

=$75000

per share = $75000/50000 = $1.5 per share

In 20Y2

Prefence shareholders' dividend = $30000

per share = $30000/25000 = $1.2 per share

Common shareholders' dividend= NIL

In 20Y3

Preference shareholders' dividend= $75000 + ($75000-$30000)

= $120000

per share = $120000/25000 = $4.8 per share

Common stockholders, dividend=$225000-$120000

= $105000

per share = $105000/50000 = $2.1 per share
