Alpha-Omega Industries has 30,000 shares of $12 par common stock and 15,000 shares of $50 par, 5% preferred stock outstanding. Total dividends available are $162,000. Compute the dividends to be distributed to preferred and common stockholders under the following condition.
The preferred stock is participating and cumulative with no dividends distributed last year.

On Jul 11, 2024


Dividend for Preferred Stock: $50 par × 5% × 15,000 shares × 2 = $75,000
Dividend for Common Stock: $12 par × 5% × 30,000 shares = $18,000
Preferred total par = $50 par × 15,000 shares = $750,000
Common total par = $12 par × 30,000 shares = $360,000
Remainder of dividend: $162,000 - ($75,000 + $18,000) = $69,000
Preferred: $750,000/$1,110,000 × $69,000 = $46,621.62
Common: $360,000/$1,110,000 × $69,000 = $22,378.38
TOTAL Preferred: $75,000 + $46,621.62 = $121,621.62
TOTAL Common: $18,000 + $22,378.38 = $40,378.38
