    c. $5,000 $10,000

    Explanation:

    The shareholders of preferred stock corresponds dividends for:

    2,000 X $50 X 4% = $4,000

    In 2009, dividends for $3,000 were paid, which means that it was less than $4,000, the total amount corresponding to preferred shareholders, so, in 2010 they get $4,000 for the current year and $1,000 for the outstanding value of 2009.

    If the total dividends paid in 2010 was $15,000, $5,000 goes to preferred shareholders and the rest to common shareholders
