    option (a) $8.00

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Reported net income = $105,000

    Number of preferred stocks = 5,000

    Par value of preferred stocks = $100

    Number of outstanding stocks = 10,000

    Now,

    Earnings per share

    = (Net Income - Preferred Stock Dividend) : (Common stock outstanding)

    = ($105,000 - 5000 * 100 * 5%) : 10,000

    or

    Earnings per share = $8

    Hence,

    The correct answer is option (a) $8.00
