    Calculating weighted average number of common shares outstanding
    If McCumbers Inc. earned net income of $595,000 for the current year (2012) and preferred dividends of $66,000 during that period. At December 13, 2012 a 2 for 1 common stock split had been executed and that 20,000 new common stock shares had been issued on May 1, 2012 and 5,000 shares of treasury stock had been acquired on November 1st.
    Determine the following: a. The 2012 net income available to common Shareholders; b. The weighted average common shares outstanding; c. The basic earnings per share (EPS).

    I got Part A done, I'm just having difficulty with B and C.

    If McCumbers Inc. has the following stockholders' equity section of its balance sheet at December 31, 2011:
    Preferred Stock,6%,$100 par value, 1,000 shares authorized, issued/ and outstanding... $1,100,000
    Premium on Preferred Stock... 50,000
    Common Stock,$10 par value, 250,000 shares authorized/ 120/000 shares issued and outstanding... 1,200,000
    Additional Paid-in Capital... 360,000
    Retained Earnings... 86, 000
    Total Stockholders' Equity $3,570,000

    Required: 1} Determine the 2011 book value per share of preferred stock. 2) Determine the 2011 book value per share of common stock.

    You don't have enough information is there more to the question. To calculate a weighted average in this case you will need three numbers pre Dec, post Dec and May 1

    I replied to my own question with the more information part. I forgot that it was referencing a previous question. Here it is again


    If McCumbers Inc. has the following stockholders' equity section of its balance sheet at December 31, 2011:
    Preferred Stock, 6%, $100 par value, 1,000 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding... $1,100,000
    Premium on Preferred Stock... 50,000
    Common Stock,$10 par value, 250,000 shares authorized, 120,000 shares issued and outstanding... 1,200,000
    Additional Paid-in Capital... 360,000
    Retained Earnings... 860,000
    Total Stockholders' Equity $3,570,000

    Required: 1} Determine the 2011 book value per share of preferred stock. 2) Determine the 2011 book value per share of common stock.

    With this question I wasn't sure on part 1
