= $2,560,000 -$1,043,000
Net income available for common shareholders = $1,517,000
2) Weighted Average of shares as of Mar 31 2021
Beginning balance = (921,000)/4 = 230,250
Shares issued = (921,000+426,000)/2 = 673,500
Shares bought back = (921,000+426,000-106,000)/4 = 310,250
Weighted average no. of shares = 230,250+673,500+310,250 = 1,214,000
Stock dividend on common shares =5%
Weighted average no. of shares = 1,214,000*(1+5%)
