Here,
Net Income = $2,500,000
Preferred Dividend = Total preferred stock in dollar x cost of preferred stock
Preferred Dividend = $5,000,000 x 8% = $400,000
No. of shares outstanding table is shown below (Weighted):
Shares outstanding + Additional shares - Treasury stock =
[750,000 x stock split] + [300,000 x (8/12) x stock split] - [150,000 x (5/12) x stock split]
