Answer:

The answer is $2.8

Explanation:

Earnings Per Share(EPS) is the part of company's earnings that goes to each common share owner.

It is calculated as net income minus preferred dividend(if any) / weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Net income equals $728,000

Weighted-average common shares outstanding equals 260,000 shares

Therefore, basic earning per share is

$728,000 /260,000

= $2.8

Answer:

$54.35

= $3.23 + $3.23 × 4.2%

= $3.23 + 0.13566

= $3.37

And, the other items would remain the same

So, the price per share is

= $3.37 ÷ (10.4% - 4.2%)

= $3.37 ÷ 6.2%

= $54.35
