1. Determine the 2018 EPS.
EPS = Net Income / Weighted Average number of shares
Numerator
Net Income = $15,90
Denominator
Weighted Average number of shares = 2,20 – (24x10/12) + (24x2/12) + (96x1/12)
= 2,52 Shares
EPS 2018 = $15,90 / 2,52 Shares
= $6.31 per share
2. Determine the 2019 EPS.
Numerator
Net Income = $15,90
Denominator
Weighted Average number of shares
=[ 2,20 – 24 + 24 + 96 ] x 2 Stock Split
= 6,32 Shares
EPS 2019 = $15,90 / 6,32 Shares
= $2.52 per share
3. At what amount will the 2018 EPS be presented in the 2019 comparative financial statements?

Net Income = $15,90
Denominator
Weighted Average number of shares
