Explanation:

The cumulative preferred stock is the stock which accumulates or accrues dividends in case the dividends are not paid or partially paid in a particular year. These accumulated dividends or dividends in arrears are paid whenever the company declares dividends next time.

Preferred dividend per year = 20000 * 140 * 0.04  = $112000

1st year

Preferred dividend = 75000

Preferred dividend per share = 75000 / 20000  = $3.75 per share

Accumulated preferred dividends = 112000 - 75000 = $37000

Common dividend = 0

Common dividend per share = 0

2nd year

Preferred dividend = 37000 + 112000

Preferred dividend per share = 149000 / 20000  = $7.45 per share

Common dividend = 10000

Common dividend per share = 10000 / 67000 = $0.149 per share

3rd year

Preferred dividend = 112000

Preferred dividend per share = 112000 / 20000  = $5.6 per share

Common dividend = 78300

Common dividend per share = 78300 / 67000 = $1.169 per share

4th year

Preferred dividend = 112000

Preferred dividend per share = 112000 / 20000  = $5.6 per share

Common dividend = 93130

Common dividend per share = 93130 / 67000 = $1.39 per share
