(c) Payout ratio %
(d) Times interest earned times

See below

Explanation:

a. The earnings per share would be calculated as;

Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) / Average number of common shares outstanding

But

Weighted average number of common shares = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding at then end) / 2

= (30,000 + 39,000) / 2

= 34,500

Preferred stock dividend = 6,500

Therefore,

Earnings per share = ($57,000 - $6,500) / 34,500

= $50,500 / 34,500

= $1.46

b. Price earnings ratio

= Market price per share / Earning per share

= $15 / $1.46

= 10.27 times

c. The payout ratio

= (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income

= ($24,700 - $6,500) / $57,000

= $18,200 / $57,00)

= 31.93%

d. Times interest

= ( Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense.

= $57,000 + $10,200 + $29,600) / $10,200

= $96,800 / $10,200

= 9.49 times
