Answer:

Dividend paid to preferred stock holders

= 10% x $100 x 10,000 shares = $100,000

Dividend paid to common stock holders

= $250,000 - $100,000

= $150,000

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

First and foremost, there is need to calculate the dividend paid to preferred stock holders, which is a function of dividend rate, par value and number of preferred stocks outstanding.

Finally, we will calculate dividend paid to common stockholders by deducting preferred dividend from the total dividend declared.
