Utilizing the following information, prepare a multi-step income statement (with basic EPS) for Waterway Company, a manufacturing company, for 2017. The company’s income tax rate is 30%. There were 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding all year.
Dividends declared on preferred stock 84,100
Dividends declared on common stock 262,300
Gain on sale of investments 111,100
Discontinued operations: loss on disposal of the wholesale division (gross) 445,600
Discontinued operations: loss on operations of the wholesale division (gross) 96,080
Sales revenue 26,211,300
Cost of goods sold 16,244,400
Interest revenue 73,900
Selling expenses 2,439,200
Administrative expenses 1,450,300
Loss due to flood damage 392,600

Notes: If a company has an overall loss on discontinued operations, earnings per share for discontinued operations should be represented as a loss (i.e., negative). Preferred dividends are also not subtracted from the numerator when calculating earnings per share on a loss (since there is no income to distribute). Earnings per share should be rounded to the nearest cent.
