Respuesta :

Answer:

$57,600

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount paid to preferred shareholders are shown below:

= Number of shares for preferred stock × par value × dividend rate × number of years

= 1,200 shares × $100 × 12% × 4 years

= $57,600

In case of cumulative, the number of years would be four years for dividend paid
