    Total dividend for common stockholders = $46,800

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Number of Cumulative share = 9,000

    Price of each share = $10

    Dividend rate = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

    Cumulative number of year = 2

    Total Declared dividend = $54,000

    Computation of Total dividend for common stockholders:

    Total dividend each year = Number of Cumulative share * Price of each share * Dividend rate * Cumulative number of year

    Total dividend each year = 9,000 * $10 * 0.04 * 2

    Total dividend each year = 7,200

    Total dividend for common stockholders = Total Declared dividend - Total dividend each year

    Total dividend for common stockholders = $54,000 - $7,200

    Total dividend for common stockholders = $46,800
