In addition, retained earnings total $90,000. If the preferred stock is callable at $54 per share, and one year's dividends are in arrears, compute book value per share of preferred stock

a. $59 per share ($50 x 0.10 = $5 + $54)
b. $15 per share [(9,000 x $10 ) + (5,000 x $50 ) + $90,000 = $430,000 - (5,000 x $59 ) = $135,000 รท 9,000]
c. $90,000 (same as before, now 45,000 shares @ $2)
