Answer: B. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true

Explanation:

Preference Shareholders do not see their dividends raised when a company is going through good times. This is because they usually earn a FIXED dividend.

Ordinary/Common Shareholders though, will usually see their dividends rise when a company performs well so that they may enjoy the profits.
