Add the Preferred and Common Stock, Then Subtract the Treasury Shares

Answer 1

Treasury stock or treasury shares are reacquired stock refers to earlier outstanding shares that is bought back from the stockholders by the issuing company. These shares are no longer outstanding hence this will not be included in the calculation of earnings per share.

Assumed face value of a share is $1, so shares outstanding = $157/$1 = 157shares
Earnings per share for 2020 = Net income/Shares outstanding = -$336,668/157 = -$2,144.38
Earnings per share for 2019 = Net income/Shares outstanding = -$275,577/149 = -$1,849.51
