    Answer and Explanation:

    The computations are as follows

    a. For basic earning per share

    = Net income : Average number of outstanding common shares

    = ($16,888 - $1,483) : 10462.282 shares

    = $1.47 per share

    b. Preferred stock dividends = Net income - Net income applicable to common shareholders

    = $4,833 - $4,211

    = $622

    c. The net income applicable to common shareholders is

    = Average number of common shares outstanding * Basic earning per share

    = 10,527.818 * $0.40

    = $4,211

    d. The net income is

    = Preference stock dividend + Net income applicable to common shareholders

    = $1,349 + $10,583

    = $11,932

    e. Average number of common shares outstanding is

    = Net income for common shareholders : basic earning per share

    = $10,583 : $0.94

    = $11,258.51
