                                                                 = $ 10,000 x $ 100 x 0.07 = $ 70,000

Explanation:

First dividend is paid to Preferred stock and then excess amount goes to common share holder. For cumulative preferred stock, any deficiency in dividend, not paid carries over to subsequent years and is added to that year's dividend.

Preferred Dividends unpaid in 2011 = $70,000

Preferred Dividends on 2012 = $70,000 + $ 70,000 = $ 140,000

Preferred Dividends paid in 2012 = $ 120,000

Preferred Dividends shortage on 2012 = $ 20,000

As the Dividend was insufficient for preferred stocks, common stocks holder was not paid any dividend during 2011 & 2012.

Preferred Dividends paid in 2013 = $ 70,000 + $ 20,000 = $ 90,000

Common Dividends paid in 2013 = $ 140,000 - $ 90,000 = $ 50,000

Preferred Dividends paid in 2014 = $ 70,000

Common Dividends paid in 2014 = $ 140,000 - $ 70,000 = $ 70,000

Explanation:

Dividends per share = Dividend paid/No. of shares

Year 2012:

Dividends per share for Preferred Stock = $120,000/10,000 = $ 12

Dividend per share for Common Stock = $ 0

Year 2013:

Dividends per share for Preferred Stock = $90,000/10,000 = $ 9

Dividends per share for Common Stock = $ 50,000/50,000 = $ 1

Year 2014:

Dividends per share for Preferred Stock = $70,000 /10,000 = $ 7

Dividends per share for Common Stock = $ 70,000/50,000 = $ 1.40
