Explanation:

If there are any dividends declared in a company having preference capital, then firstly dividend will be paid to preference capital at the rate specified as that is the minimum rate.

Here preference capital = $10 30,000 = $300,000

Dividend = 5% = $15,000

Total dividend for the year = $100,000

Equity Dividend = Total - Preference

= $100,000 - $15,000

= $85,000
