(Round Earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.78.)

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The earning per share for 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

For the year 2022

= ($82,600 - $6,685) ÷ (42,500 + 78,000) ÷ 2

= ($75,915) ÷ (60,250)

= 1.26

For the year 2021

= ($49,925 - $6,685) ÷ (32,600 + 42,600) ÷ 2

= ($43,240) ÷ (37,600)

= 1.15

The same should be considered and relevant
