Answer:

Dividend of preferred shares = No of shares * Dividend percent * Par value of shares = 2,000 * 7% * $50 = $7,000

Hence, dividend in arrears for the year 2019 and 2020 is $14,000 ($7,000+$7,000). Dividend for 2021 is $7,000

Description                                                                             Amount

Preferred dividend in arrear for the year 2019 and 2020  $14,000

Add: Preferred dividend for the year 2021                          $7,000

Total preferred dividend                                                       $21,000

Less: Total dividend                                                               $23,000

Dividend for common shareholder                                     ($2,000)

Hence, dividend paid for cumulative preferred share in the year 2021 is $21,000 and the amount paid for common shareholders is $2,000
