Cash dividend-preferred and common stockholders


Could you please help me with the following question:

A corporation had the following stock outstanding when the company's board of directors declared a $95,000 cash dividend the current year:

Preferred stock, $100 par, 6%, 5,000 shares issued $ 500,000

Common stock, $10 par, 75,000 shares issued        $ 750,000

Total                                                                   $ 1,250,000

Allocate the cash dividend between the preferred and common stockholders assuming the preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating and dividends are one year in arrears.
