Irredeemable preference shares treated as Equity - but most unlikely that you'll meet these in the exam Redeemable preference shares treat as long term liability Irredeemable Preference Share dividends - I suppose they will appear as a deduction shown in Statement of Changes in Equity (though I have never seen this, neither in the exams nor in real life) Redeemable Preference Share dividends treated as finance charge in the statement of profit or loss OK?
