    How much will common stockholders receive

    D. $130,000

    Explanation:

    Total Dividends to Preferred Stockholders

    10.000 Shares

    10% cumulative preferred stock outstanding

    $90 Par Value

    Dividends: 10,000 * 10% * $90 = $90.000

    Preferred dividends in arrears for two years.

    $90,000*2 Years = $180.000

    Preferred dividends for the current year

    $90,000

    Total Dividends to Preferred Stockholders

    $180,000 + $90,000 = $270,000

    Total Dividends to be paid by the company

    $400,000

    Preffered Stockholers : $270,000

    Common Stockholers: $130,000
