    a. The allocation of dividends to each class of stock assuming 7% and cumulative is shown below:-

    b. The allocation of dividends to each class of stock assuming 8% and cumulative is shown below:-

    c. The Journal entry is shown below:-

    Explanation:

    a. Preferred dividend = Issued shares * Par value preferred stock * Preferred stock * Dividend percentage

    = 2100 * $50 * 7%

    = $7350

    2021 2022 2023

    Total dividend $6,000 $13,900 $27,000

    Allocation to

    preferred stock $6,000 $7,350 $7,350

    Remainder to

    common stock $0 $6,550 $19650

    ($13,900 - $7,350) ($27,000 - $7,350)

    b. Preferred dividend = Issued shares * Preferred stock * Preferred stock dividend percentage

    = 2,100 * $50 * 8%

    = $8,400

    2021 2022 2023

    Total dividend $6,000 $13,900 $27,000

    Allocation to

    preferred stock $6,000 $10,800 $8,400

    $8400 + ($8,400 - 6,000)

    Remainder to

    common stock $0 $3,100 $18,600

    The company announced $6000 in cash dividend in 2021, and the preferred dividend is $8400. Since the preference shares are cumulative, next year the remaining $2400 (8400-6000) dividend will be paid out.
