![### 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.
