Solution-A
Calculation of weighted average number of shares outstanding as at December 31, 2020.
Jan. 1, 2020 - opening common stock (570000*12/12) =570000
Feb. 1, 2020 - share issued (195000*11/12
= 178750
May 1, 2020 - Share acquired and retired (222000*8/12)
= (148000)
Total weighted average stock till june 1,. 2020 = 600750
June 1, 2020 - Stock split (600750*2) = 1201500
Oct. 1, 2020 - Share issued (64000*3/12) = 16000
Total weighted average stock till Dec . 1, 2020 =1217500
Solution-B
Note-Since Preference share is non cummlative, and not declared during the year, it will not be deducted from earnings for stock holders.
Earning per share= earning for common stock / weigted average outstandimg common stock
=3227000/1217500
= $ 2.65 per share
Solution -Note- Since preference share is cummlative, it would be deducted from earnings. Hence,
Earning per share = (3227000-800000)/1217500
= $ 1.99 per share
Solution-D
Note- Since earning for common stock holder should be after consideing the earning from discontinueing operation, loss from discontinued operations should be deducted from the available earnings. Therefore,
Earning per share = (3227000-405000)/1217500
= $ 2.32 per share
