Can you tell then, what is percentage of dividends distributed in this problem?
To calculate preference dividend, you need to multiply amount of shares, by value by percent. For example, in other problem it says 30000 shares, 1% preferred, 100$ par, so dividend are 30k*0.01*1000=30000.
What the amount in this problem?
Thanks
