Explanation / Answer

2015:

Preferred stock:

Dividend in arrears = nil (because preferred stock is noncumulative)

Current year = 200000*6%*20 = 240000

Total = 0 + 240000 = 240000

Common stock:

Dividend in arrears = nil

Current year = 400000 - 240000 = 160000

Total = 0+160000 = 160000

Total dividend = 0+240000+160000 = 400000

2016:

Preferred stock:

Dividend in arrears = nil

Current year = 200000*6%*20 = 240000

Total = 0+240000 = 240000

Common stock:

Dividend in arrears = nil

Current year = 600000 - 240000 = 360000

Total = 0+360000 = 360000

Total dividend = 0+240000+360000 = 600000
