The outstanding capital stock of Coronado Corporation consists of 1,900 shares of $100 par value, 9% preferred, and 5,400 shares of $50 par value common. Assuming that the company has retained earnings of $87,500, all of which is to be paid out in dividends, and that preferred dividends were not paid during the 2 years preceding the current year, state how much each class of stock should receive under each of the following conditions. a. The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating.
b. The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating.
c. The preferred stock is cumulative and participating.

preferred stock dividends = 1,900 x $100 x 9% = $17,100

common stocks = 5,400 stocks

a) distribution of dividends:

preferred stocks = $17,100

common stocks = $70,400

b) distribution of dividends:

preferred stocks = $17,100 x 3 = $51,300

common stocks = $36,200

c) distribution of dividends:

preferred stocks = $51,300 + (1,900/7,300 x $19,100) = $56,271

common stocks = $17,100 + (5,400/7,300 x $19,100) = $29,429

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.
