Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the earnings and dividend per share is shown below;

But before that the net income should be determined

Sales   667000  

Less: Costs  329000  

Income before depreciation, interest and taxes 338000  

Less: Depreciation expenses 73000  

Operating income 265000  

Less: Interest expenses 46500  

Income before tax 218500  

Less: Tax  at  25% 54625  

Net income 163875  

a Earning per share = Net income ÷ Outstanding Common stock  

= $163,875 ÷ 27200  

= $6.02 per share

b Dividend per share = Dividend paid ÷ Outstanding Common stock  

= $47000 ÷ 27200    

= $1.73 per share
