Answer:

1.EPS 2021 = net icome / no of shares =$1,419,000/ 284000 =4.99 = 5

2.EPS 2022 = $1,419,000/ 852000 = 1.67 = 2

3.EPS will be shown as $5

Explanation:

Number of shares= 260000

issued shares = 24000

shares at the end 2021 = 284000

New issue 284 000*2/1 = 568000

shares at the end 2022 = 852000

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)

+24,000 x 1/12

258,000 weighted average shares

EPS = net income / outstanding shares

income 1,419,000 / 258,000 = 5.50

2.1 stock split therefore

284,000 shares beginning x 2 = 568,000 shares

EPS 1,419,000 / 568,000 = 2,4982 EPS
