Answer 1

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning per share is calculated dividing Earning for the year excluding preferred dividend by outstanding number of shares.

Formula for EPS is as follow:

Earning Per share = ( Net Income - Preferred Dividend ) / Outstanding Numbers of shares

We need to calculate the net Income, which is calculated as below

Net Income = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Financing costs = $50,000,000 - $40,000,000 - $5,000,000 - $2,000,000

Financing costs = $3,000,000

Placing Values in the formula of EPS

EPS = $3,000,000 / 100,000 shares = $30
