To calculate dividends for preferrend stock you take the par value of the stock * the percentage amount. Subtract this number from the total dividends to get dividends available to common shareholders. Divide the dividends available to common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding to get the dividends per common share of stock.

$75 par value preferred shares * 4% * 10,000 shares preferred = $30,000 preferred dividends, which is calcualted from the formula I gave you.
Dividend per share of preferred stock = $75 * 4% = $3
Now you should be able to work the rest of your problem.
