Less: Interest expense | $ 31,000 |
EBT | $ 333,000 |
Less: Tax at 30% | $ 99,900 |
Earnings Available for shareholders | $ 233,100 |
Number of shares | 30,000 |
EPS | $ 7.77 |
Here,
EPS = Earnings Available for shareholder / Number of shares
Amount of dividend paid | $ 108,000 |
Number of shares | 30,000 |
