Answer:
EPS 2021 $5.5
EPS 2022 $2.4982
We will compare by dividing by 2 as we make a stock split
5.5 / 2 =
EPS 2021 in the 2022 income statement $2.75
Explanation:
We have to calcualte the weighted average shares outstandings
260,000 beginning
- 6,000 x 10/12 (February through December)
+ 6,000 x 2/12 (Nov and Dec)
<u>+24,000 x 1/12</u>
258,000<em> </em><em>weighted average shares</em>
<em>EPS = net income / outstanding shares</em>
income 1,419,000 / 258,000 = 5.50
<em><u /></em>
2.1 stock split therefore
284,000 shares beginning x 2 = 568,000 shares
EPS 1,419,000 / 568,000 = 2,4982 EPS
