Answer:
A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the firm can sell as much output as it chooses at the current price.
Explanation:
The perfectly elastic demand implies that the demand curve is horizontal line parallel to the X axis. The price is fixed at a point and the firm can sell any amount of output at this point. The demand is infinite at the given price level. If the firm makes any changes in this price level, the demand will become zero.

$0
Explanation:
The net income is the difference between the sales and total cost which comprises of the variable cost and fixed cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
Let
u = number of units
s = selling price per unit
v = variable cost per unit
F = Fixed cost
I = Net income
I = su - F - vu
but vu = 0.3su
Hence
I = su - 0.3su - F = 0.7su - F
Given that the proposal will increase sales by $12,000,
New sales = su + 12000 ( in $)
and total fixed costs by $8,400
New fixed cost = F + 8400
New variable cost = 0.3( su + 12000) = 0.3su + 3600
New net income = su + 12000 - 0.3su - 3600 - F - 8400
= 0.7su - F
New net income is same as the old net income hence no increase.

Earning per share (EPS):
Income from continuing operations per share = $4.40 per share
Loss from discontinued operations per share = -$3.64 per share
Net Income per share = $0.76 per share
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the income statement.
Also Note: Two years (2016 and 2018) were mistakenly mentioned in the question instead of just one of them. I therefore picked 2016 to prepare the income statement.
In the attached excel file, the earning per share (EPS) is calculated as follows:
Number of shares outstanding = 100,000 shares
Income from continuing operations per share = Income from continuing operations / Number of shares outstanding = $440,000 / 100,000 = $4.40 per share
Loss from discontinued operations per share = Loss from discontinued operations / Number of shares outstanding = -$364,000 / 100,000 = -$3.64 per share
Net Income per share = Net Income / Number of shares outstanding = $76,000 / 100,000 = $0.76 per share
