Explanation / Answer

1.Computation of 2018 EPS.

EPS = Net Income / No of shares outstanding

Net Income = $ 9,09,000

No of shares = 310000 – (21000 x 10/12) + (21000 x 2/12) + (84000 x 1/12)

                     = 310000 – 17500 + 3500 + 7000

                    = 303000 Shares

EPS = $ 909000 / 303000

       = $ 3 / Share

2.Computation of 2019 EPS.

Net Income = $ 9,09,000

No of shares = [ 310000 – 21000 + 21000 + 84000 ] x 2

                      = 7,88,000 Shares

EPS = $ 909000 / 788000 Shares

       = $ 1.15 / Share

3. 2018 EPS be presented in the 2019 comparative financial statements

Net Income = $ 9,09,000

No of shares = 303000 (weighted-average sharesas previously calculated) x 2(stock splitadjustment)

                      = 6,06,000 Shares

EPS = $ 909000 / 606000 Shares

       = $ 1.50 / Share
