Answer:

A. Earning Per Share = $3.88 per Share

B. Dividend per Share = $1.99 per Share

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the Net Income Before Tax

Sales= $796,000, Cost= $327,000, Depreciation = $42,000, Interest = $34,000

Net Income Before Tax= Income for the period - Expenses

Net Income Before Tax= Sales- Costs- Depreciation- Interest

= $796,000-$327,000-$42,000-#34,000

=$393,000

Step 2: Calculate the Net Income After tax

Net Income After Tax = Net Income Before Tax - Tax for the period

Percentage for Tax (tax rate) = 21%

Tax for the Period = $393,000 x 21%

= $82,530

Net Income After Tax = $393,000- $82, 530

= $310,470

Step 3: Calculate Earnings Per Share

Number of Outstanding Shares = 80,000 Shares

Dividend paid = $95,000

Earnings Per Share = Net Income After Tax/ Number of Shares

= $310,470/80,000

=3.880875 Per Share (intermediate calculations not rounded)

=$3.88 Per Share (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Step 4: Calculate Dividends Per Share

Dividend Per Share = Cash Dividend Paid/ Number of Shares

= $95,000/80,000

=$1.1875 (intermediate calculations not rounded)

=$1.19 Per Share (rounded to 2 decimal places)
