Answer:
A. Earning Per Share = $3.88 per Share
B. Dividend per Share = $1.99 per Share
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the Net Income Before Tax
Sales= $796,000, Cost= $327,000, Depreciation = $42,000, Interest = $34,000
Net Income Before Tax= Income for the period - Expenses
Net Income Before Tax= Sales- Costs- Depreciation- Interest
= $796,000-$327,000-$42,000-#34,000
=$393,000
Step 2: Calculate the Net Income After tax
Net Income After Tax = Net Income Before Tax - Tax for the period
Percentage for Tax (tax rate) = 21%
Tax for the Period = $393,000 x 21%
= $82,530
Net Income After Tax = $393,000- $82, 530
= $310,470
Step 3: Calculate Earnings Per Share
Number of Outstanding Shares = 80,000 Shares
Dividend paid = $95,000
Earnings Per Share = Net Income After Tax/ Number of Shares
= $310,470/80,000
=3.880875 Per Share (intermediate calculations not rounded)
=$3.88 Per Share (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Step 4: Calculate Dividends Per Share
Dividend Per Share = Cash Dividend Paid/ Number of Shares
= $95,000/80,000
=$1.1875 (intermediate calculations not rounded)
=$1.19 Per Share (rounded to 2 decimal places)
