Solution d:

Preferred dividend paid in May = $4,200,000 * 9%*1/2 = $189,000

Net Income for May = Closing retained earning + Preferred dividend paid - Opening retained earnings

If dividend is declared on June1 to be payable on July 15, therefore, June 30 balance sheet will reflect a reduction in retained earnings and an increase in dividend payable for the same amount.
