The computation of the dividend distributed are as follows

Given that

6% noncumulative, nonparticipating, preferred stock = $190,000.

Common stock outstanding   = $590,000.

In the first year,  no dividend paid by the company.

The preferred stock is noncumulative that means no dividend will be a carryover.

Second year dividend paid by company = $39,000

 Now based on the given information, the dividend distributed are as follows

For preffered stock

= $190,000 × 6%

= $11,400

And for common stock

= $39,000 - $11,400

= $27,600
