Answer:

2021 Common Stockholders dividends = $49,600

Explanation:

Preference Shareholders are always paid their dividends first before Common Stockholders. If dividend is not declared, Preference dividends are cumulated to the next period and are due !

2019

Preferred Stockholders Dividends = 14700 x $100 x 4% = $58,800

Common Stockholders dividends = $ 0

2020

Preferred Stockholders Dividends =  $58,800 (2019) + $54,200 (2020)

Common Stockholders dividends = $0

2021

Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $4,600 (2020 arrears) + $58,800 (2021) = $63,400

Common Stockholders dividends = $113,000 - $63,400 = $49,600
