2021     $28,000                    $6,650                 $21,350

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

7% Preferred stock, $50 par value: Issued 1,900 = $95,000

Common stock, $10 par value: Issued 109,000 = $1,090,000

Dividends declared at December 31:

Year     Dividends    7% Preferred                 Common Stock

2019 = $5,950          $6,650  Paid $5,950         $0

2020 = $13,800        $6,650  Paid $6,650         $7,150

2021 = $28,000        $6,650  Paid $6,550      $21,350

b) The preferred stock dividend is fixed at 7% of $95,000 yearly.  Since it is noncumulative, the 2019 dividend will be limited to the dividends declared.  For other years, the dividend for the preferred stock is fixed at $6,650 annually.  Whatever remains after paying the preferred dividends is paid to the common stockholders.
