Explanation:

distributed dividends            preferred stocks                common stocks

year 1 = $55,000                         $48,000                              $7,000

year 2 = $76,500                        $48,000                            $28,500

year 3 = $81,100                          $48,000                             $33,100

year 4 = $101,400                       $48,000                             $53,400

preferred stocks' dividends = $15 x 4% x 80,000 stocks = $48,000

dividends per share = $15 x 4% =  $0.60

common stocks' dividends = total dividends - preferred stocks' dividends

year 1 = 7,000 / 399,000 = 1.75¢ per share

year 2 = 28,500 / 399,000 = 7.14¢ per share

year 3 = 33,100 / 399,000 = 8.30¢ per share

year 4 = 53,400 / 399,000 = 13.38¢ per share
