Respuesta :

Answer:

$1.3

Explanation:

Net income = $600,000

Outstanding shares = 400,000

Dividends paid = $80,000

So, by using  earning per share formula,

Earning per share = (Net income - Dividends paid) ÷ outstanding shares

By putting the value, we get

Earning per share = ($600,000 - $80,000) ÷ 400,000

= $520,000 ÷ 400,000

= $1.3

Hence, the earning per share for 2012 is $1.3.
