Answer 1

Answer:

Common shareholders Earnings                = ( Net Income (-) Preference dividend )                =   $ 1,140,000   (-) ($700,000 x 6% )                =    $ 1,140,000   (-) $ 42,000                =    $ 1,098,000

Reatined Earnings balance   =   $ 2,464,000 (-) Preference dividend                                                          =   $ 2,464,000 (-) $42,000                                                          = $ 2,422,000

Total Common stockholder's Equity                       = Balance of Common stock + Retained earnings Balance                       =    $ 1,127,000 + $ 2,422,000                       =     $ 3,549,000
