Answer:
1. $2.00
2. $0.88
3. $1.00
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the 2016 EPS
First step is to calculate the Total Movement of shares and WACSO
Date Movement of shares Ratio WACSO(no. of shares * Ratio)
1-Jan-16 $606 million*12/12 =$606 million
28-Feb-16 (18 million)*10/12=(15 million)
31-Oct-16 18 million*2/12=3 million
30-Nov-16 72 million*1/12=6 million
Total 678 million 600 million
Now let calculate 2016 EPS
Net income $1,200 million
÷Divided by WACSO 600 million
=EPS $2.00
($1,200 million/600 million)
Therefore 2016 EPS will be $2.00
2. Calculation to determine 2017 Earnings per share
First step is to calculate the No. of shares outstanding after stock split
No. of shares outstanding as of 2017 678 million
*Stock split 2
=No. of shares outstanding after stock split 1,356 million
(678 million*2)
Now let calculate 2017 EPS
Net income $1,200 million
÷Divided by WACSO 1,356 million
=EPS 0.88
($1,200 million/1,356 million)
Therefore 2017 EPS will be $0.88
3. Calculation to determine At what amount will the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017
First step is calculate No. of shares outstanding after stock split
Wacso based on item no. 1 600 million
*Stock split 2
=No. of shares outstanding after stock split 1200 million
(600 million*2)
Now let calculate the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017
Net income 1200 million
÷Divided by WACSO 1200 million
=EPS 1.00
(1200 million/1200 million)
Therefore At what amount will the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017 will be $1.00
