I hope you receive this the proper way. I have unlimited common shares. I have issues 1,000,000 total of $1,500,000. I have $1,800,000 reatined earings. I have issues 100,000 preferred shared earings at $50 perferred shares.=$5,000,000. I was also authorized unlimited no par value of $4 noncumulative preferred shares.now I have to pay out quaterly shares to the preferred shares. Do I total the three preferred shares $5,000,000
common shares $1,500,000
retained earings $1,800,000
I don't know the amount of what to pay out to the preferred shares

The common stockholders are not entitled to dividends unless dividends are declared and the preferred stock dividends have been satisfied.

Your preferred stock should also show a percentage, referred to as the preferred dividend rate. It is typically written that you have X%, $50 par preferred shares. That percentage is applied to the total value of the preferred stock (in your case $5 million) to determine the dividend the $50 preferred shareholders are entitled to receive in a year - thus 25% each quarter.

Preferred stock may or may not have a par value, but almost all preferred stock has a fixed dividend amount. I think that is what the $4 signifies, though usually I see it written as "no par value of $4 dividend noncumulative preferred shares". Again, this is stated on an annual basis. Do you have any more info on the no-par value preferred shares, such as whether there are any shares issued?

Not too much info eh? All the info I have was in the last message.
