Calculate earnings per share:
a. Net income, $240,000
b. Preferred shares issued, 6,000
c. Average number of common stock shares issued, 24,000
d. Cash dividends declared and paid on common stock, $30,000
e. Market price per share, $36
f. Average treasury shares of common stock, 4,000
Net income = $240,000
Average number of common stock shares issued = 24,000
Average treasury shares of common stock = 4,000
Average number of common stock outstanding = Average number of
common stock shares issued - Average treasury shares of common
stock
Average number of common stock outstanding = 24,000 - 4,000
Average number of common stock outstanding = 20,000
Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) /
Average number of common stock outstanding
Earnings per share = ($240,000 - $0) / 20,000
Earnings per share = $240,000 / 20,000
Earnings per share = $12.00
