Answer 1

the earning per share is $1.43 per share

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the earning per share is shown below:

= Net income ÷ weighted no of shares

= $741 million ÷ (544 million shares - 36 million × 10 ÷ 12 + 6 million × 8 ÷ 12)

= $741 million ÷ (544 - 30 + 4)

= $1.43 per share

Hence, the earning per share is $1.43 per share
