Dividend Payment per unit

Year Common Dividend Preferred Dividend

1. 0 $0.3

2. 0 $0.5

3. $0.79 $1.6

4. $2.69 $0.8

Explanation:

Dividend distributed to preferred share is based on the predetermined rate associated with these share. When the dividend is declared preferred share dividend is paid first. The remainder is distributed between the common stockholders.

Value of Preferred share = 15,000 shares x $20 par value = $300,000

Dividend on Preferred share = $300,000 x 4% = $12,000 per year = $12,000 / 15,000 = $0.8 per share
