Question

For 2012 Fielder Corporation reported net income of $30,000; net sales $400,000; and average share outstanding 12,000. There were no preferred stock dividends. What was the 2012 earnings per share?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

The Earnings Per Share of a company is determined by using the formula:

EPS= (Net Income of the Company - Dividend to Preferred Shareholders) ÷ Average Outstanding Shares of the Company

Since there is no dividend to preferred shareholders

EPS= Net Income of the Company - ÷ Average Outstanding Shares of the Company

=30000 ÷ 12000

=$2.50
