Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Earning per share

= (Net income - preferred dividend) ÷ (Weighted average number of outstanding shares)

= ($173,600 - $6,500) ÷ (27,200 shares + 38,600 shares) ÷ 2

= $167,100 ÷ 32,900 shares

= $5.08 per share

b. Price earnings ratio = Market price ÷ Earning per share

                                    = $15 / $5.08

                                    = 2.95

c. Payout ratio = Dividend paid ÷ Net income

= ($21,700 - $6,500) ÷ ($173,600)

= 8.76%
