Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the weighted average number of shares is shown in the attachment below:

b.  Now the earning per share i.e EPS

= (Net Income - Preferred Dividend) ÷ (Weighted average number of shares )

= ($9,850,000 - $10,000) ÷ (8,720,000 shares)  

= $1.13    

The preference dividend is

= (2,000 × $100 × 5%)

= $10,000
