Answer: $160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Earning per share (EPS) = $0.55

Number of outstanding shares = 200,000

Preferred dividend = $50,000

EPS = (NET INCOME - PREFERRED DIVIDEND) / NUMBR OF OUTSTANDING SHARES

0.55 = ( NET INCOME - 50000) / 200000

200000 × 0.55 = NET INCOME - 50000

110,000 = NET INCOME - 50000

NET INCOME = 110,000 + 50,000

NET INCOME = $160,000
