Answer:

$8,700

Explanation:

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = [($430,000*7%)*2 - ($23,000*2)] + ($430,000*7%)

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = [$60,200 - $46,000] + $30,100

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = $14,200 + $30,100

Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = $44,300

Dividend available to common shareholders = Total dividend - Dividends payable to preferred shareholders

Dividend available to common shareholders = $53,000 - $44,300

Dividend available to common shareholders = $8,700

So, the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021 is $8,700.
