    Ordinary shares of 10c each
    $1,000,000
    8% Preferred shares of 50c each (redeemable)
    $500,000
    In the year ended 31 October 20X2, the company has paid the preferred dividend for the year and an
    interim dividend of 2c per share on the ordinary shares. A final ordinary dividend of 3c per share is
    declared on 30 October 20X2.

    Which book did you find this question in? I am guessing that it is the BPP Revision Kit and if so, which edition are you using?

    The correct answer is $540,000 (( 5c x 10,000,000) + (8% x $500,000))

    You are welcome 🙂

    (I have just realised that you asked this in the ordinary FA Forum. In future if you want me to answer then you should ask in the FA Ask the Tutor Forum.)
