    1. $2.5 Per Share

    2. $0.9375 per share

    3. $1.25

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

    1. EPS 2018

    Earning Per Share (EPS) = Net Income : Weighted Average Outstanding Share of Common Stock

    2018: - Weighted Average Outstanding Share of Common Stock = (320,000 * 12 : 12) - (24,000 * 10:12) + (24,000 * 2: 12) + (96000 * 1:12)

    = 320,000 - 20,000 + 4,000 + 8,000 = 312,000 shares

    2018 Net Income = $780,000

    Earning Per Share (EPS) 2018 = $780,000 : 312,000 = $2.5 Per Share

    2. 2019 EPS:-

    Common Stock Share at the Beginning of 2019 = 320,000 - 24,000 + 24,000 + 96,000 = 416,000 shares

    2019: - Weighted Average Outstanding Share of Common Stock = 416,000 * 2 = 832,000

    2019 Net Income = $780,000

    EPS = $780,000 : 832,000 = $0.9375 per share

    3. The 2018 EPS Be Presented in 2019 Comparative Financial Statement = Net Income : (Weighted Average Outstanding Shares Of Common Stock For 2018 * Stock))

    = $780,000 : (312,000 * 2)

    = $780,000 : 624,000

    = $1.25
