To analyze the annual per share dividend paid to common stockholders in 2010, you need to calculate the total dividend amount. Adding up the two dividend declarations:
$20,000 (May 3) + $20,000 (Nov 2) = $40,000
To calculate the per-share dividend, divide the total dividend amount by the number of outstanding shares:
$40,000 / 40,000 shares = $1 per share
Therefore, the per-share dividend paid to common stockholders in 2010 was $1.
