Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the weighted average number of shares is shown in the attachment below:
b. Now the earning per share i.e EPS
= (Net Income - Preferred Dividend) ÷ (Weighted average number of shares )
= ($9,850,000 - $10,000) ÷ (8,720,000 shares)
= $1.13
The preference dividend is
= (2,000 × $100 × 5%)
= $10,000
