Solution
1) Debit Retained Earnings $318,000; credit Common Stock Dividend Distributable $212,000; credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value, Common Stock $106,000.
Retained earnings: 53,000 shares * 20% x $30 = $318,000
Common Stock Dividend Distributable: 53,000 shares * 20% x $20 = $212,000
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, Common Stock: 53,000 shares *20%* $10 = $106,000
2) $22,900 preferred; $32,300 common
Preferred stock dividend = 1,900 x $100 x 5% = $9,500

Dividend Paid to Preferred Shareholders = $3,900
Dividend Paid to Common Shareholders = $0 (As amount of profit is less)
Year 2:
Dividend Paid to Preferred Shareholders = $9,500
Dividend Paid to Common Shareholders = $300 ($9,800 – 9,500)
Year 3:
Dividend Paid to Preferred Shareholders = $9,500
Dividend Paid to Common Shareholders = $32,000 ($41,500 – 9,500)
3) Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend / Market Price per share
= 0.76 / 26.50 *100 = 2.87%
