Question

Pearland, Inc. has 9,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock has a $90 par value, a 14% dividend rate, and is noncumulative. If Pearland has sufficient funds to pay dividends, what is the total amount of dividends that will be paid out to preferred stockholders

Answer 1

Answer: $113400

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of dividends that will be paid out to preferred stockholders will be:

= Number of shares × Par value of preferred stock × Dividend rate

= 9000 × $90 × 14%

= 9000 × $90 × 0.14

= $113400

Therefore, the total amount of dividends that will be paid out to preferred stockholders is $113400
