    20Y3 = 408,750/75,000 = $5.45

    20Y2 = 336,000/60,000 = $5.60

    Explanation:

    As for the information provided we have,

    Each year income as given

    20Y3 = $448,750

    20Y2 = $376,000

    Preference Dividend for each year as given

    20Y3 = $40,000

    20Y2 = $40,000

    Average common stock outstanding shares at each year end

    20Y3 = 75,000 shares

    20Y2 = 60,000 shares

    Therefore, income for equity, for each year

    20Y3 = $448,750 - $40,000 = $408,750

    20Y2 = $376,000 - $40,000 = $336,000

    Thus, Earnings per share on common equity

    20Y3 = 408,750/75,000 = $5.45
