How much profit was available for common stockholders after payment of interest and corporate taxes? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

The dividend yield on the preferred was 7%, and the corporate tax rate was still 21%. Recalculate the profit available for common stockholders after payment of preferred dividends and corporate taxes. (Do not round intermediate calculations.
