Answer:
Computation of Hardaway's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Cash Dividend on Preferred stocks = $50,000
Share issued and outstanding weighted-average = 800,000 (common stock shares) × 1.25
=1,000,000 shares
Hardaway's Earnings per share = (Net Income - Cash Dividend on Preferred stocks) ÷ shares issued and outstanding weighted-average
