How do I find the weighted shares forOct-Dec??

Expert Solution

Table for the calculation of weighted average number of outstanding shares:

Event	Dates	Duration	Outstanding shares	Weighted shares
Opening balance	Jan 1 - Mar 31	3/12	955000	238750
Issues shares	1 Apr - Sept 30	6/12	1425000	712500
Buy-back shares	1 Oct - Dec 31	3/12	1305000	326250
			Total	1277500

Also, on 15th Feb 2018, share dividend of 5% is given, so the total number of outstanding shares will increase by 5%.

Now, weighted average number of outstanding shares = 1277500 * (1+0.05) = 1,341,375

Net Income = $2,528,000

Dividend to Preferred shareholders = 7%*293000*50 = 1,025,500

Income distributable to equity shareholders = 2,528,000 - 1,025,500 = 1,502,500

Earning per share = Income distributable to equity shareholders / Weighted average of outstanding shares

= 1,502,500 / 1,341,375 = $1.12

Weighted shares for Oct-Dec are given in table = 326,250

Calculation can be shown as = Total number of shares outstanding * 3/12 = (955,000+470,000-120,000)*3/12 = 326,250
