If a corporation has outstanding 1000 share of 8 preferred share and 100 for 3 years, the preferred dividend before dividend declaration is 50.
The total yearly dividend payable to preferred stock is 96000.
A declared cash dividend is recorded by debiting the dividend account and crediting the dividend payable account.
Calculation of preferred dividend does not depend upon the dividend declared at the end of the year. Preferred dividend is fixed and is calculated using the fixed percentage of preferred dividend. For example a company has 1000 shares of 6 preferred stock outstanding, each with par value of $100. 6 mentioned before preferred stock is the dividend rate(6%) to be received by preferred shares. Preferred Dividend = No. of preffered shares outstanding x Par value of each share x Dividend rate. = 1000 x 100 x 6%. = $ 6000. Dividend per share = 6000/1000 = $6
A dividend is calculated by determining the portion of a company's earnings that will be distributed to shareholders. The formula for calculating the dividend per share is the total amount of dividends declared divided by the number of outstanding shares. For example, if a company declares a total dividend of $1 million and has 1 million shares outstanding, the dividend per share would be $1. Additionally, companies often express dividends as a percentage of the share price, known as the dividend yield.
