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
