Answer:

a. $6.54 per share

b. $1.73 per share

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Earning per share is

= Net income ÷ shares of common stock outstanding

where,

Net income is

= Sales - costs - depreciation expense - interest expense - tax expense

= $664,000 - $326,000 - $70,000 - $45,000 - $49,060

= $173,940

The tax expense is

= (Sales - costs - depreciation expense - interest expense) × tax rate

= ($664,000 - $326,000 - $70,000 - $45,000) × 22%

= $49,060

Now the earning per share is

= $173,940 ÷ 26,600 shares

= $6.54 per share

b. Dividend per share = (Total dividend) ÷ (number of shares)

= ($46,000) ÷ (26,600 shares)

= $1.73 per share
