I am sorry but it is difficult to follow because the tabbing does not appear well on our website. Is there no answer in the book that you are using?

Yes it is 16000 but it doesn't make sense :(

The loan interest expense is 10% x 100,000 = 10,000. Therefore the cash actually paid = 10,000 + 5,000 - 3,000 = 12,000 The preference dividend for the year is 8% x 50,000 = 4,000. The total of the two is 16,000.
