Total Retained earnings : -284000 loss + (-40000)loss + 869000 income

          = -284000-40000 +869000

          = $ 545000

Total stockholders equity : Common stock +preferred stock +retained earnings

                = 721000+510000 + 545000

               = $ 1776000

common stock per share =[Total stockholders equity -preferred stock liqudity value ]/number of common shares outstanding

          =[ 1,776,000- (5100*108)]/721000

         = 1,776,000- 550,800]/721000

           = 1,225,200/721000

          = $ 1.70 per share
