Answer 1

Earning per share = $1.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning per share = Income available to ordinary shareholders / Number of shares available

$

Net Income 364.000

Preferred dividend (19,400× 0.54) (34920 )

329,080

Number of shares(see workings) 237,135

Earning per share = $329,080 /237,135 units = $1.39

Number of shares = (603,000/1000)*45 + 210,000 = 237,135 units

Earning per share = $1.40
