Calculate the payout ratio, earnings per share, and return on common stockholder equity ratio.

EPS = (Net Inc-Pref DIv)/No of common shares

= (280000-40000)/(305000-47000) = $0.93


payout ratio = DIv per share/EPS = 0.50/0.93 =53.8%


Return on Equity = (Net Income-Pref Div)/(Shareholder's Equity - Pref Capital)

= (280000-40000)/(2604000 - 300000-15000)

= 10.5%
