Sheridan Company has $1,200,000 in assets and $1,200,000 in
stockholders’ equity, with 42,200 shares outstanding the entire
year. It has a return on assets of 15%. During 2021, it had net
income of $180,000. On January 1, 2022, it issued $375,000 in debt
at 4% and immediately repurchased 21,100 shares for $375,000.
Management expected that, had it not issued the debt, it would have
had net income of $180,000 in 2022. Assume the company pays
dividends on common stock equal to its net income each year. Also,
assume the accrued interest on the debt was paid at December 31,
2022 and the company has no other debt outstanding at
year-end.
Determine the company’s net income and earnings per share for
