    preferred dividends = $30380

    Common stock = $ 335620

    Explanation:

    Dividends 366000

    preferred 7% * 217000 = $15190 * 2 years = $30 380

    common stock = $335620

    The total dividend declared is 366000 and preferred is 15190 per year but it is cumulative so we add the year that was in arrears so to get total dividend for preferred stock then we deduct the preferred from total dividend declared to get common stock's dividend.
