    C. $1.54

    Explanation:

    The arnings per share is calculate using the net income and dividing it by the outstanding amount of shares.

    If the company pays preferred stok dividends these will be discounted, but in this case, it has no information about that, so we should assume this dividend are common stock.

    Therefore, do not impact on the earnings per share. So it keeps at 1.54 per share.
