Solution

Solution:

Net Income for 2018 = $1,240,000

Preference dividend = $750,000 * 6% = $45,000

Earning for common shareholders = $1,240,000 - $45,000 = $1,195,000

Balance of retained earnings after declaration of preference dividend = $2,474,900 - $45,000 = $2,429,900

Total common stockholder\'s Equity = Common stock + Retained earnings = $1,121,000 + $2,429,900 = $3,550,900

Rate of return for 2018 based on year end common stockholder\'s equity = $1,195,000 / $3,550,900

Hence last option is correct.
