1.Computation of 2018 EPS.
EPS = Net Income / No of shares outstanding
Net Income = $ 9,09,000
No of shares = 310000 – (21000 x 10/12) + (21000 x 2/12) + (84000 x 1/12)
= 310000 – 17500 + 3500 + 7000
= 303000 Shares
EPS = $ 909000 / 303000
= $ 3 / Share
2.Computation of 2019 EPS.
Net Income = $ 9,09,000
No of shares = [ 310000 – 21000 + 21000 + 84000 ] x 2
= 7,88,000 Shares
EPS = $ 909000 / 788000 Shares
= $ 1.15 / Share
3. 2018 EPS be presented in the 2019 comparative financial statements
Net Income = $ 9,09,000
No of shares = 303000 (weighted-average sharesas previously calculated) x 2(stock splitadjustment)
= 6,06,000 Shares
EPS = $ 909000 / 606000 Shares
= $ 1.50 / Share
