    Calculation of EPS and Retained Earnings
    This is the question: If a firm paid common stock dividends of $.80 per share, how many dollars would go to retained earnings?

    What is the formula to calculate this?

    What I do know.

    PAT $218,000
    40% tax rate
    Preferred stock $32,000
    85,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

    Thanks
