D. $131,900

Explanation:

For computing the total amount of dividend first we have to calculate the yearly dividend which is shown below:

Per year dividend for preferred stock is

= $10 × 6,500 × 2%

= $1,300

For 3 years, the total dividend is

= $1300 × 3 years

= $3,900

And,

Total common dividend is

= $4 × 32,000

= $128,000

So, the total dividend paid is

= $128,000 + $3,900

= $131,900
