Answer:

D. $93,600

Explanation:

In order to find the total dividends paid out to the preferred stockholders we need to find the dividend per share and then multiply it by 8,000 as there are 8,000 preferred shares.

Dividend per share =

par value * dividend rate

90*0.13=11.7

Total amount paid to stock holders=

Dividend per share * no of shares

11.7*8,000=93,600
