    Basic EPS is $1.62

    Explanation:

    Basic earnings per share = (Net income-preferred dividends) / weighted average number of shares

    net income is $360,000

    preferred dividends=$1.80*20,000=$36000

    Weighted average number of common stock is 200,000

    Basic Earnings Per Share = ($360,000-$36000) / 200,000

    =$1.62

    From the computation the basic EPS year 2021 is $1.62

    This implies that each share had earnings of $1.62 during year from which $0.55 was paid out as dividends and the balance $1.07 was reinvested in the business for further growth

    Basic EPS=$1.08

    Explanation:

    Basic EPS = Net income after tax-preferred shares' dividend/Weighted average of outstanding shares

    Net income after tax=$360,000*.7=$252,000

    Dividend to preference shareholders=20,000*1.8=$36,000

    Weighted average shares outstanding=200,000

    Basic EPS = ($252,000-$36,000) / 200,000

    Basic EPS=$1.08
