Answer 1

Luther's earnings per share is closest to $1.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the earning per share is shown below:

Earning per share = (Net income) ÷ ( number of outstanding shares)

where,

Net income is $10.6 million

And, the number of outstanding shares is $10.2 million

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $10.6 million ÷ $10.2 million

= $1.03
