Answer:
$1.35 per share
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the weighted shares outstanding.
The earnings per share can be computed as follows:
Weighted shares outstanding = 1,702,000 shares
Preferred stock dividend = 48,000 * $100 * 8% = $384,000
Net income = $2,680,000
Net income after preferred stock dividend = $2,680,000 - $384,000 = $2,296,000
Earnings per share = Net income after preferred stock dividend / Weighted shares outstanding = $2,296,000 / 1,702,000 = $1.35 per share
