Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is $3.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know

             [tex]Earning \ per\ share\ (ESP)=\frac{net\ income-preferred\ income}{Weighted \ average\ common\ shares\ outstanding}[/tex]

Thus Putting values in the formula we get

              [tex]Earning \ per\ share\ (ESP)=\frac{750,000-90,000}{200,000}[/tex]

              [tex]Earning \ per\ share\ (ESP)=\frac{660,000}{200,000}[/tex]

              [tex]Earning \ per\ share\ (ESP)=\ \$3.30[/tex]

So, the Earning per Shares are $3.30.
