    Preferred dividend = $8,000

    Common stock dividend = $22,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of dividend is shown below:-

    Preferred dividend = Total shares * Total shares of Noncumulative, nonparticipating, preferred stock outstanding

    = $100,000 * 0.08

    = $8,000

    Common stock dividend = Cash dividend - Preferred dividend

    = $30,000 - 8,000

    = $22,000

    Therefore the Preferred dividend is $8,000 and Common stock dividend is $22,000
