Solution 1: |
Current market value (price) of this corporation’s common stock = $ 181 per share |
Current market value (Total) = $181* common shares outstanding = $181 * 4000 = $724,000 |
Solution 2: |
Par Value of Corporation's Common preferred stock = $70000 / 1000 shares = $70 |
Par Value of corporations Common stock = $180000 / 4000 shares = $45 |
Solution 3: |
Book value per share of common stock = (Common Stock +retained earning) / number of common shares |
= ($180000+ $370000) / 4000 = $137.50 |
Solution 4: |
Preferred dividend arrears for 2 years = $70000*5% * 2 = $7000 |
Book value per share for common shares = (180000 + 370000 -7000) / 4000 = $ 135.75 per share |
Solution 5 |
Preferred dividend= 2 years arrears dividend + Current year dividend = $70000*5%*3 = $10,500 |
Common stock dividend = $21700 - $10500 = $11,200 |
