To find Earning per share, we can find this by the following formula:
Increase in Earnings Per Share = Net profit of new products / Number of shares
and
Net Profit of new products = 5% * $4,898,300 = $244,915
Increase in Earnings Per Share = ($244,915) / 1,456,800 = 16.81%

The total surplus from Andrew's sale to Nick is $35.
Explanation:
The total surplus is the sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus.
The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the price he/she actually has to pay.
While producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price a producer is willing to accept for a product and the price he/she actually gets.
Consumer surplus for Nick
= $80 - $60
= $20
Producer surplus for Andrew
= $60 - $45
= $15
Total surplus from generated from Andrew's sale to Nick
= $20 + $15
= $35
