Expert Solution

a.)

Earning per share before the public issue = EBIT/ no of shares outstanding

= 7000000/2500000

= 2.8 per share

 

b.)

Earning per share after public issue  = EBIT+ proceeds from new issue/ no of shares outstanding+ new shares issued

=( 7000000+1400000) / (2500000+500000)

= 2.8
