    (a) the earnings per share = $3

    (b) the price-earnings ratio = 8x

    (c) the dividends per share = $0.25

    (d) the dividend yield = 1.04%

    Explanation:

    Common Stock Outstanding = 5,250,000/25 = 210,000 shares

    Preferred Stock Outstanding = 6,000,000/200 = 30,000 shares

    Preferred Stock Dividend per share = $4

    (a) Earnings Per Share

    EPS = Net Income - Preferred Dividend

    Common Stock Outstanding

    EPS = 750,000 - (30,000 * 4)

    210,000

    EPS = 630,000

    210,000

    EPS = $3

    (b) Price-Earnings Ratio

    Market Price = $24

    EPS = $3

    P/E ratio = Market Price

    EPS

    P/E ratio = 24/3

    P/E ratio = 8x

    (c) Dividends Per Share

    DPS = Total Dividends

    Common Stock Outstanding

    DPS = 52,500/210,000

    DPS = $0.25

    (d) Dividend Yield

    DY = Dividend Per Share

    Price

    DY = 0.25/24

    DY = 1.04%
