How do I calculate the divdends per share on preferred stock and common stock? If there are 25,000 shares of 1% cumulative preferred stock of $100 par, and 250,000 shares of $50 par common?

Something per something is always a division, in that order. e.g. dividends per share is the dividends divided by the shares. Of course, you need the dividends to do this.
