Rate of proposed dividend

As per company law, depending on your rate of proposed dividend, a certain % of current profit is to be transferred to reserve.

I have 2 doubts regarding this.

1) Rate of proposed dividend is calculated on Share Capital, right?  i.e.  Total Proposed dividend/Total Share Capital *100

2) The required % is to be transferred to Capital Reserve, or some other Reserve?
