If a company declares dividend on preferred stock and a net loss occurs ,the company increases the loss by the amount of dividend for the reporting period.
If the preferred stock is cumulative and the company has net income but declares no dividend in the current year ,it subtracts an amount equal to the dividend that it should have declared for the current year only.
If the stock is cumulative and the company reports a net loss but declares NO dividend in the current year the loss should be increased by the amount of dividend for the year
weighted average common shares outstanding
Shares Issued Time Outstanding Total
313,000 12/12 (Jan 1 -Dec 31st ) 313,000
12,000 7/12 (June 1 - Dec 31st) 7,000
320,000
The preferred dividend would be
12,000 x $100 x 9.5% = $114,000
So EPS would be
(-$114,000 - 1,006,000) / 320,000 = - $3.5
