Rodney Aguirre · Answer 1

paid out of after tax profits

Explanation:

When the business organization earns net profit during the given period. It is compulsory to distribute the dividend to preference shareholders and the equity shareholders and if the company is suffering from the losses then no dividend would be declared

The priority is given to the preference shareholders over the equity shareholders

So, the after tax profits would be computed below:

= Total revenue - total expenses - income tax expense
