Expert Solution
Introduction

Non-cumulative preference share can be defined as that type of preference share which pays dividend only for the current year (if the company decides to declare dividend), i.e., a preference shareholder cannot claim any unpaid dividends from the previous years.  In this case, there were no dividends in the year 2020; therefore, in the year 2021, the preference shareholder cannot claim the unpaid dividends of 2020.
