    Times preferred dividends eared: 7.08333

    Explanation:

    income before taxes - taxes = net income

    180,000 - 78,000 = 102,000

    preferred dividends:

    outstanding preferred shares x yield

    $ 240,000 x 6% = $14,400

    Times dividends earned:

    102,000 / 14,400 = 7.08333333333
