    Dividend income of $24,000

    Explanation:

    Wood Co. owns 2000 out of the 20000 cumulative, non-participating preferred shares, which implies that out of all preferred dividends declared and paid by Arlo inc, Wood Co, get 2000/20000 of the dividends

    Wood Co's dividends = 2,000/20,000*$240,000

    =$24,000

    The stock dividend of 5% of common stock is not to be recognized as dividend income but an increase in investment in Arlo Inc, a capital gains yield not dividend yield

    Capital gains yield is the return from investment in form capital appreciation while dividend is a revenue return from investment
