Explanation / Answer

a) Earning per share = (Earning available for common stockholders/No. of common stockholders)

No. of common stockholders = $2,550,000/$15 = 170,000

Earning available for common stockholders = Net income - Preferred dividends

Preferred dividends = (2,000,000*$5/$100) = $100,000

Earning available for common stockholders = $576,000 - $100,000 = $476,000

Earning per share = $476,000/170,000 = $2.80 per share

b) Price earnings ratio = Market price per share/Earning per share = $21.00/$2.80 = 7.5 times

c) Common stock dividends per share = $42,500/170,000 = $0.25 per share

d) Dividend yield = (Dividend per share/Market price per share)*100

= ($0.25/$21.00)*100 = 1.19%
