    Consider the following calculation

    Explanation:

    1. Determine the 2018 EPS.

    EPS = Net Income / Weighted Average number of shares

    Numerator

    Net Income = $15,90

    Denominator

    Weighted Average number of shares = 2,20 - (24x10/12) + (24x2/12) + (96x1/12)

    = 2,52 Shares

    EPS 2018 = $15,90 / 2,52 Shares

    = $6.31 per share

    2. Determine the 2019 EPS.

    Numerator

    Net Income = $15,90

    Denominator

    Weighted Average number of shares

    =[ 2,20 - 24 + 24 + 96 ] x 2 Stock Split

    = 6,32 Shares

    EPS 2019 = $15,90 / 6,32 Shares

    = $2.52 per share

    3. At what amount will the 2018 EPS be presented in the 2019 comparative financial statements?

    Numerator

    Net Income = $15,90

    Denominator

    Weighted Average number of shares

    = 2,520 x 2 Stock split

    = 5,04 Shares

    EPS = $15,90 / 5,04

    = $3.15 per share
