Explanation:

Calculation of how the Dividend should be distributed

First step is to calculate for preferred stock outstanding

Preferred stock outstanding=$150,000 * 8% non-cumulative

Preferred stock outstanding=$12,000

Second step is to calculate for common stock outstanding

Using this formula

Common stock outstanding = Cash Dividend-Preferred stock outstanding

Let plug in the formula

Common stock outstanding=$35,000-$12,000

Common stock outstanding=$23,000

Therefore Preferred stock outstanding will be $12,000 while Common stock outstanding will be $23,000

88 because 4 plus 4 equals 8. 40 plus 40 equals 80. 80 plus 8 equals 88
