Answer:

(1) $5,800; $0

(2) $6,000; $6,400

(3) $6,000; $22,300

Explanation:

Annual preferred dividend:

= Number of shares × par value × preferred stock dividend percent

= 2,400 × $50 × 5%

= $6,000

In 2021:

Allocation to preferred stock = $5,800

Allocation to Common Stock = $0

In 2022:

Allocation to preferred stock = $6,000

Allocation to Common Stock = $12,400 - $6,000

                                                = $6,400

In 2023:

Allocation to preferred stock = $6,000

Allocation to Common Stock = $28,300 - $6,000

                                                = $22,300
