Problem:
Fairmount Inc., a developer of radiology equipment has stock outstanding as follows: 15,000 shares of cumulative 2%, preferred stock of $15 par, and 50,000 shares of $5 par common. During it's first four years of operation, the following amounts were distributed as dividends year1: $30,000, year 2 $42,000, year 3 $90,000, year 4 $120,000.

calculate preferred shares outstanding per year
calculate preferred dividend per share for each year
calculate dividend for common shares per year
