Answer 1

$7.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average of outstanding common shares

Basic Earnings per share = ($7,350,000 - $195,000) / 990,000 shares

Basic Earnings per share = $7,155,000 / 990,000 shares

Basic Earnings per share = 7.22727273

Basic Earnings per share = $7.23

So, the amount of Angel's basic earnings per share for 2021 is $7.23.
