Valley, Inc. has 9,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock has a $90 par value, a 14% dividend rate, and is noncumulative. If Valley has sufficient funds to pay dividends, what is the total amount of dividends that will be paid out to preferred stockholders?

The dividends payout to preferred stockholders is $113,400 as shown below.

Explanation:

The total dividends payable to holders of preferred shares can be computed thus:

Preferred shares dividends=9000*$90*14%

Preferred shares dividends =$113,400

Preferred shareholders have prior claims to dividends ahead of ordinary shareholders,but after bondholders' interest payments have been settled.

The same way they also have precedence in the distribution of company's assets before ordinary shareholders upon the liquidation of the company.

The downside is that they cannot share in excess profits after payment of dividends as they are part-owners of the company unlike ordinary shareholders.
