Answer:

Year1 1 EPS = $7

Year 2 EPS = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of shares outstanding in year 1 = 100,000

Number of shares outstanding in year 2 = 100,000 * 2 = 200,000

Earning per share (EPS) in year 1 = $700,000 / 100,000 = $7

EPS in year 2 = $700,000 / 200,000 = $3.50, or $4 to the nearest cent.
