Here's how I remember it - it's net income available to common
shareholders. So preferred dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) for
that year are subtracted. Preferred cum dividends are deducted whether
declared or not because they are "set aside" and not available for c/s owners.
Hope this helps!
