Answer:

Preference dividend = 9% x $65 x 5,700 shares

                                = $33,345

Dividend paid to ordinary shareholders = $50,000 - $33,345

                                                                 = $16,655

Explanation:

The dividend paid to preferred stockholders is 9% of the par value multiplied by number of preferred stock outstanding. The dividend paid to common stockholders is the difference between total dividend paid and dividend paid to preferred stock holders.
