Explanation / Answer

Answer a

$2.87

Working:-

EPS of 2015 =$8.60

post split 1 share will become 3 share hence EPS of one share before split will have to be devided by 3 to arrive EPS of 2015 for comparative anlysis .

EPS =8.60/3=$2.87

Answer b

$0.717

Working:-

Additionally 1 share of 2016 will become 4 in 2017 and hence 1 share of 2015 will become 1*3*4=12 share.

Hence EPS of 2015 for comparative anlysis will be 8.60/12=$0.717

Answer C

Assume face value of stock is 10 hence dividend 10*14%=$1.4

EPS will be 8.60-1.4=$7.2
