A company had stock outstanding as follows during each of its first three years of operations: 2,500 shares of 10%, $100 par, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $10 par common stock. The amounts distributed as dividends follow. Determine the total and per-share dividends for each class of stock for each year by completing the schedule. Preferred Common Year Dividends Total Per Share Total Per Share1 $10,000 2 25,000 3 60,000

See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

In the attach excel file, the following formulae and calculations are used:

Peferred stock dividend per share = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in a year / Number of cumulative preferred shares

Common stock dividend per share = Total common stock dividend paid in a year / Number of common shares

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend = Number of cumulative preferred stock * Par value * Dividend rate = 2,500 * $100 * 10% =  2,500 * $100 * 10% = $25,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 1 = $25,000 - $10,000 = $15,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = $15,000

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend + Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = $25,000 + $15,000 = $40,000

Total common stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Dividend distributed in Year 3 - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = $60,000 - $40,000 = $20,000

a progressive tax is a tax that imposes a lower tax rate on low-income earners compared to those with a higher income, making it based on the taxpayer's ability to pay. that means it takes a bigger percentage from high income earners than it does from low income people.
