Step-by-step explanation:

AXEL CORPORATION

Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Sales revenue $ 592,000

Less:Cost of goods sold 325,000

Gross profit 267,000

Operating expenses:

Selling $67,000

Administrative 87,000

Restructuring costs 55,000

Total operating expenses 209,000

Operating income (267,000-209,000) 58,000

Other income (expense):

Interest and dividends 32,000

Interest expense(26,000)

Gain on sale of investments 86,000

Income before income taxes (86,000+32,000+58,000-26,000) 150,000

Income tax expense [40% x $150,000]60,000

Net income(150,000-60,000) 90,000

Earnings per share [90$/100$=0.9]$ 0.90

Numbers of share outstanding 90,000/0.9 =$100,000
