(2) Calculate the total amount of distribution of remaining retained earnings:

Total amount of distributionof remaining retained earnings} = (Total amount of retained earnings (1)−8%preferred stock dividend in arrears for 2015-2018−4%preferred stock dividend for  2019−8% Preferred stock dividend for  2019−Dividends on common stock at preferred rate )=($850,000−$320,000−$4,000−$80,000−$40,000)=$406,000</
