6% preference shares of $1 each (note (ii)) 52,000
Preference dividend paid (note (ii)) 3,000

The 6% preference shares were issued at par on 1 April 20X3 for $50 million. They
are redeemable at a large premium which gives them an effective finance cost of
10% per annum.

Ur assistance is kindly needed as i am having my paper on 9th
