Answer: |
(a) |
Net income for 2016 that will be reported in Gluco's 2017 annual report = $ 936,100 |
(b) |
Earning per share = Net income / Weighted average shares outstanding = $ 936,100 / 293,400 Shares = $ 3.19 per Share |
Earning per share reported in 2016 annual report = $ 3.19 per Share |
(c ) |
Stock Split = 4 for 1 i.e., 293,400 Shares x 4 = 1,173,600 Shares |
Earning per share = Net income / Adjusted Weighted average shares outstanding = $ 936,100 / 1,173,600 Shares = $ 0.80 per Share |
Earning per share for comparative purposes = $ 0.80 per Share |
