Computation of December 31, 2018 the Amount of Earnings per Share:

Earnings per share = Net Income Available for Common Stock Holders / Average Common Stock

Here,

Average common shares = $67,500/$5 + (10,000 * 6/12)

= 13,500+5,000

= 18,500

 

Earnings Per Share = $127,500 / 18,500 = $6.89 per share
