preference shares

We have been analysing the annual report for jb hi fi for 2011, unfortunately we cannot find any reference to preference shares or Return on shareholder’s equity - we need to ascertain what the preference dividend figure is. Can some one point us in the right direction, even a page number or...

Just wondering exactly what this means You buy the for $100ea and you earn 2.5%????

I dont understand really the diff between FPO shares, partly paid shares and preference shares.
