Answer:
Book value per share of common stock = $20.81
Explanation:
Total stock holder equity = $2600000
Preferred stock = $100000
Paid in capital preferred stock =( $100000 / $100) x $3 = $3000
Balance Amount for common stock holder = Total stock holder equity - Preferred Stock - Paid in capital preferred stock
= $2600000 - $100000 - $3000 = $2497000
Number of common share outstanding = $1200000 / $10 = 120000
Book value per share of common stock = Amount available for common stock / Number of share outstanding
= $2497000 / 120000
= $20.81 per share.
