Divac’s preferred stock is $100 par, 8% stock. If the stock is liquidated or redeemed, stockholders are entitled to $120 per share. There are no dividends in arrears on the stock. The common stock has a par value of $10 per share. Assume that the common stockholders have a right to the total net income of $83,000.
