Solution

The preferred shares are noncumulative, which means that if the company does not pay a dividend in any given year, these shareholders do not have the right to claim any missed dividends in the future.

The preferred shareholders have a right to a dividend of $15 per share before any dividends are paid to common shareholders.

Step 1: Calculate the total preferred dividends The total preferred dividends are calculated as follows: 100 shares * 15/share=15/share = 1,500

Step 2: Distribute the dividends Since the total dividends paid out in the second year is 24,000,thepreferredshareholdersreceivetheirdividendsfirst.So,24,000, the preferred shareholders receive their dividends first. So, 24,000 - 1,500(preferreddividends)=1,500 (preferred dividends) = 22,500

Therefore, the preferred shareholders receive 1,500andthecommonshareholdersreceive1,500 and the common shareholders receive 22,500.

So, the correct answer is "1,500preferred;1,500 preferred; 22,500 common."
