1) Calculation of Weighted average No.of shares:

Shares outstanding on 1 July 2019 = 600,000

Shares issued for cash on 01 January 2020 = 600,000

Shares repurchased on 01 March 2020 = 10,000

Date (1)	No.of equity shares (2)	Period Outstanding (3)	Weights (months) (4)	Weighted average number of shares (5) (2*4)
1 July 2019	600,000	12 months	12/12	600,000
1 January 2020	600,000	6 months	6/12	300,000
1 March 2020	(10,000)	4 months	4/12	(3333)
				896,667

Weighted average No of shares = 896,667

2) Calculation of Basic earning per share for the year ended 30 June 2020:

Shares Outstanding = 1,000,000

Bonus shares issued will be one bonus share for every two shares held

1,000,000 - 2

- 1

= 1,000,000*1/2

= 5,00,000

Weighted average No.of shares Outstanding = 1,000,000*12/12+5,00,000*12/12 = 1,500,000

(Since the bonus is issued during the year it should be calculating from beginning of the year as if it is issued beginning of the year, So for bonus shares issue date is irrelevant since it is calculated from beginning of the year)

Net profits attributable to shareholders = 1,250,000

Basic Earning per share = Net profits attributable to shareholders/ weighted average No.of shares

= 1,250,000/1,500,000

= 0.83
