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: 2015 $20,000
2016 28,000
2017 200,000
2018 350,000
Determine the amount of dividends paid each year to each of the two classes of stockholders: preferred and common. Also compute the total dividends paid to each class for the four years combined.

total non-cumulative preferred stock dividends per year = 80,000 x 7.5% x $5 = $30,000

since the bonds are non-cumulative, if the dividends are not paid during one year, they are basically lost since they will not be paid in the future.

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
