Numerator Denominator Earnings per Share 10.00 4.05 1. $ 167.000 x = IS 2. $ 1,670,000 X 1 1,670,000 X/ 1,670,000 X 1 412.000 x = $ 3. $ 373,000 X S 4.48
SOLUTION:
Computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding :
| 1/1 - 12/31 | 170,000 x ( 12 / 12 ) | 170,000 |
| 2/28 - 12/31 | 9,000 x ( 10/12 ) | (7,500) |
| 10/31-12/31 | 9,000 x ( 2 / 12 ) | 1,500 |
| 11/30-12/31 | 36,000 x ( 1/12 ) | 3,000 |
| Weighted Average No. of Shares Outstanding for 2021 | 167,000 |
Weighted average number of shares for 2022 = (170,000 - 9,000 + 9,000 + 36,000) x 2 = 412000
