Earnings per share is $0.89 per share

Dividends per share is $0.08 per share

Book value per share is $10.21 per share

Explanation:

Additions to Retained Earning = Net Income = $640,000

Dividend Paid = $55,000

Total Equity = $7.35 million = $7,350,000

Common stock outstanding = 720,000 shares

Earning Per Share = Net Income / Number of Outstanding shares

Earning Per Share = $640,000 / 720,000 = $0.89 per share

Dividend per share = Dividend Paid / Number of Outstanding shares

Dividend per share = $55,000 / 720,000 = $0.08 per share

Book value per share = Total Equity / Number of Outstanding shares

Book value per share = $7,350,000 / 720,000 = $10.21 per share
