Answer :
Answer:
$1.41 per share
Explanation:
Weighted average no of shares out standing = 1,686,800 shares
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the weighted average no of shares out standing.
Preferred stock dividend = 8% * 45,000 * $100 = $360,000
Net income after preferred dividend = $2,740,000 - $360,000 = $2,380,000
Earnings per share = Net income after preferred dividend / Weighted average no of shares out standing = $2,380,000 / 1,686,800 = $1.41 per share
