### Dividends Per Share

Windborn Company has 10,000 shares of cumulative preferred 1% stock, $150 par, and 50,000 shares of $30 par common stock. The following amounts were distributed as dividends:

- **20Y1**: $37,500
- **20Y2**: $12,000
- **20Y3**: $45,000

Determine the dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year. Round all answers to two decimal places. If an answer is zero, enter '0'.

| Year | Preferred Stock (dividends per share) | Common Stock (dividends per share) |
|:----:|:-------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------:|
| 20Y1 | [input box]                           | [input box]                        |
| 20Y2 | [input box]                           | [input box]                        |
| 20Y3 | [input box]                           | [input box]                        |

**Explanation:**

- **Preferred Stock**: Cumulative preferred stock means that if any dividends are omitted, they must be paid out before any dividends can be paid to common stockholders in future years.
- **Common Stock**: The dividend payments to common stockholders occur only after the preferred dividends are fully paid.

### Steps to Calculate:

1. **Determine total preferred dividends per year**:
   - Preferred stock dividend = 1% of $150 par * 10,000 shares.
   - Annual preferred dividend: 0.01 * 150 * 10,000 = $15,000.

2. **Distribute dividends year by year**:
   - **20Y1**: Pay full preferred dividends and calculate the remainder for common stock.
   - **20Y2**: Pay any outstanding preferred dividends from 20Y1 first, and then the current year's preferred dividends before calculating the common stock dividends.
   - **20Y3**: Carry over any unpaid preferred dividends from prior years and then distribute the remaining properly.

### Example Calculation:

For each year, we distribute dividends according to the sequence: unpaid preferred dividends → current preferred dividends → common stock dividends.
