The preferred shareholders will be allocated a dividend of $131040 and the common shareholders will be allocated a dividend of $56960.

Explanation:

Total dividend declared =$188000

the allocation of dividends:

Preferred shareholders = (12000×14%)×$ 78

                                       = $ 131040

Common shareholders = Total dividends - preferred shareholders dividend

                                       = $ 188000 - $ 131040

                                       = $ 56960
