Answer: $21,000

Explanation:

Cumulative preference shares should always get paid their dividends. If a situation arises where the company is unable to pay this dividend in a year, the dividends will be accrued until such a time as the company is able to pay.

Dividend to be received in 2014 is therefore:

= 2013 dividend that was not paid + 2014 dividend

= 10,000 + 11,000

= $21,000
