I have part A calculated correclty, but my calculation of 1.50 for part B book value is not correct. Help please
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
