Answer:

Silva Company

1. Computation of Earnings per share for 2018, assuming the company paid the minimum preferred dividend during 2018:

Earnings per share (EPS) = Net Income/Outstanding common shares

= $34,800/60,000 = $0.58

2. Computation of price/earnings ratio for 2018, market price is $7

Price/Earnings ratio = Market price/EPS = $7/$0.58 = 12.07

3. Computation of rate of return on common stockholders' equity for 2018, assuming the company paid the minimum preferred dividend during 2018:

Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = Net Income/ Common Stockholders' equity  x  100

= $34,800/($215,000 - 80,000) x 100 = 25.78%
