Answer:

  • Dividend in arrears = $1,000,000
  • Total dividend for the year = $2,000,000

Explanation:

Dividend in arrears.

Dividend for Preferred dividends is the same each year so the dividend for the previous year was:

= Number of shares * Percentage * Par value

= 200,000 * 5% * 100

= $1,000,000

Dividend to be paid this year:

This is cumulative preferred share which means that dividend in arrears and current dividend should always be paid regardless of when possible.

Dividend for this year is therefore the sum of the dividend in arrears and the dividend for the year:

= 1,000,000 + 1,000,000

= $2,000,000
