Answer:
$2.57 per share
Step-by-step explanation:
Earning per share (EPS) denotes the amount per share available for distribution among shareholders. The Company decides to distribute certain portion of income among shareholders depending on the availability of future profitable projects available with the Company. EPS is calculated as follows:
EPS = Net Income / Weighted average shares outstanding
EPS = 180,000 / 70,000
EPS = 2.57 / share
