    240,900 common stock

    year 4

    preferred 25,500

    common stock 404,500

    Total:

    Preferred 102,000

    Common 645,400

    Explanation:

    85,000 x $5 par x 6% = 25,500 dividen per year

    becuase the dividend is cumulative it will accumulate over time.

    Also preferred stock has prefecente over common stock.

    year 1 13,900 - 25,500 = 11,600 accumulated dividend for preferred stock

    year 2 23,500 - 25,500 = 2000 accumulated dividend for preferred stock

    year 3 280,000 - 25,500 = 254,500 dividend for previous year preferred stock

    254,500 - 2000 - 11,600 = 240,900 dividends for common stock

    year 4 430,000 - 25,500 = 404,500 dividends for common stock
