Explanation / Answer

1. Year Dividend      Preferred stock dividend per share common stock dividned per share 1 $10000 (10000share *1% *$50) =$5000 /10000 (10000-5000)=5000/50000share

= $0.5 =$0.1   

2 $2500 (only)$2500 / 10000 shares

= $0.25 $0(no dividend is available )

3 $15000 $2500(of year 2) + 5000 /10000share [15000-(2500+5000)] /50000 share

= 7500/10000 =7500 /50000

= $0.75 =$0.15
