    A) (1) $60,000 and (2) $140,000

    Explanation:

    Number of preferred share = 10,000

    Price of Preferred share = $100

    Total value of Preference share = 10,000 x $100 = $1,000,000

    (1) Preferred dividend = $1,000,000 x 6% = $60,000

    Total Dividend Announced = $200,000

    Dividend for common stockholders = Total Announced Dividend - Dividend for Preferred Stockholders

    (2) Dividend for common stockholders = $200,000 - $60,000

    Dividend for common stockholders = $140,000
