    For preferred dividends simply take the par value of the preferred stock times the percentage rate times the number of shares issued and outstanding.

    Then just subtract the preferred dividends from the total amount of dividends paid to get your dividends available to common stockholders.

    For the common dividends per share simply take the amount of dividends available to common stockholders divided by the total number of common shares issued and outstanding.
