    amount will be available for its common stockholders is $82,200

    Explanation:

    Dividend paid in 2020 is $30,000

    Dividend for preferred stock holder in 2020 is = 12,000 * 60 * 8% = $57,600

    Dividend accumulated for the next year is = 57600 - 30000 = $27,600

    Dividend paid in 2021 is $45,000

    from 57600, company paid 27600 and tjis year dividend as $17400

    so total $45000 is paid

    Balance unpaid dividend is accumulated = $57,600 - $17,400 = $40,200

    in 2022, Total dividend is $180,000

    Dividend payable to preferred stock holder in 2020 = $57,600

    so total amount allotted to preferred stock holder is = 57600+40200 = $97800

    we know total dividend paid in 2022 is $180,000

    so dividend payable to common stockholders is = 180000 - 97800 = $82,200
