Explanation:

1st Plan:

Income before Interest and taxes 1,008,000

Bonds Payable Interest:                   (144,000)  

Income before taxes                        864,000

Income tax expense                       (345,600)  

Net Income                                        518,400

Quantity of Common Stock:

$ 1,440,000 / $5 = 288,000

Earing per share:

518,400 / 288,000 = $1.80

Available for common stock            441,600

Quantity of preferred Stock:

$1,200,000 / $10 =120,000 shares

Dividends on Preferred Shares:

120,000 x $1 = 120,000

Quantity of Common Stock:

$ 960,000 / $5 = 192,000

Earing per share:
