This question is incomplete and the complete question is as follows:
York’s outstanding stock consists of 80,000 shares of noncumulative 7.5% preferred stock with a $5 par value and also 200,000 shares of common stock with a $1 par value. During its first four years of operation, the corporation declared and paid the following total cash dividends:
2016 total cash dividends = $20,000
2018 total cash dividends = $200,000
2017 total cash dividends = $28,000
2019 total cash dividends = $350,000
Determine the amount of dividends paid each year to each of the two classes of stockholders: preferred and common. (Round your "Dividend per Preferred Share" answer to 3 decimal places.)
To answer the question, Preferred and Common stocks are first described.
Preferred stocks are stock shares that pay dividends to holders before common stock dividends are paid.
Cumulative preferred stock is a type of preference stock with a clause that requires a corporation to pay all dividends to cumulative preferred shareholders, including those that were missed before.
Common stocks are stock shares that pay dividends to holders after preferred stock dividends have been paid.
