Answer:

$1.47

Explanation:

Diluted earnings per share = Earnings before preferred stock dividends ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding

where,

Earnings before preferred stock dividends is calculated as :

Net Income                                                                   $3,470,000

Add Preferred Stock Dividends                                      $195,000

Earnings attributable to Common Stock holders      $3,665,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding is calculated as :

Outstanding end of  the year                                        2,500,000 shares

therefore,

Diluted earnings per share = $3,665,000 / 2,500,000 shares = $1.47
