$62,160

Explanation:

The calculation of amount of dividends is shown below:-

Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend

= $480,000 × 6% × 2 - $28,000 - $28,000

= $57,600 - $28,000 - $28,000

= $1,600

Current Preferred Stock Dividend = Common stock × cumulative preferred stock percentage

= $480,000 × 6%

= $28,800

The amount of dividends common shareholders = Cash dividends - Current Preferred Stock Dividend - Arrears in Preferred Stock Dividend

= $58,000 - $28,800 - $1,600

= $62,160
