1. Determine the income under each of the following equity theories:

o Proprietary theory
Net Income = Operating margin – Interest expense
= $300,000 - $80,000
= $220,000
o Entity theory (orthodox view)
Net Income = Revenue – Operating expense
= $1,000,000 - $700,000
= $300,000
Net Income in this theory also equals the operating margin.
o Entity theory (unorthodox view)
Net Income = Operating margin – (Interest expense + Dividends preferred stock + Dividends common stock)
= $300,000 – ($80,000 + $30,000 + $100,000)
= $300,000 - $210,000
= $90,000
o Residual theory
Net Income = Operating margin – (Interest expense + Dividends preferred stock)
= $300,000 – ($80,000 + $30,000)
= $300,000 - $110,000
= $190,000

The dividends declared on this split would be the same $100,000, although the par value would decrease in half from $500,000 to $250,000. So with that being said, the dividends declared on 6% preferred stock would now be $15,000.
So, to answer the question, yes there would be changes to some of my answers.
