Explanation Cash dividends: The amount of cash provided by a corporation out of its distributable profits to its shareholders as a return for the amount invested by them is referred as cash dividends. Common stock: These are the ordinary shares that a corporation issues to the investors in order to raise funds. In return, the investors receive a share of profit from the profits earned by the corporation. The dividend payments are not guaranteed and are paid after the payment made to the preferred stockholders. Preferred stock: The stock that provides a fixed amount of return (dividend) to its stockholder before paying dividends to common stockholders is referred as preferred stock. A preferred stock may be cumulative and non-cumulative. A cumulative preferred stock implies that a preferred stockholder is entitled to receive dividends for the current year plus any unpaid dividends of the previous years, before the dividends paid to the common stockholders. Dividend per share: Dividend per share represents the amount of dividend paid to each shareholders of the business. In first year, L Incorporation has paid only $36,000 as dividend in total. Therefore, preference shareholders get only $36,000 as dividends in first year; remaining balance of $14,000 ( $ 50 , 000 ( 1 ) − $ 36 , 000 ) would be paid as dividend in arrears in future. In second year, L Incorporation has paid $58,000 as dividend in total. Therefore, preference shareholders get $58,000 as dividends in second year, which includes $44,000 for current year plus $14,000 dividends in arrears
