                                          2021             2022              2023

Total dividend                 $6,000         $13,900            $27,000

                                                    ($13,900 - $7,350) ( $27,000  - $7,350)

b. Preferred dividend = Issued shares × Preferred stock × Preferred stock dividend percentage

= 2,100 × $50 × 8%
