Answer:
Task a:
Determine the weighted-average number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2018.
The answer is 1,762,000.
Task b:
Assume that Wilke Corp. earned net income of $3,456,000 during 2018. In addition, it had 100,000 shares of 9%, $100 par nonconvertible, noncumulative preferred stock outstanding for the entire year. Because of liquidity considerations, however, the company did not declare and pay a preferred dividend in 2018. Compute earnings per share for 2018, using the weighted-average number of shares determined in part (a).
Earnings per share (EPS) 2018 = $1.45 per share
Task c:
Assume the same facts as in part (b), except that the preferred stock was cumulative. Compute earnings per share for 2018.
Earnings per share (EPS) 2018 = $1.96 per share
Task d:
Assume the same facts as in part (b), except that net income included a loss from discontinued operations of $432,000 (net of tax). Compute earnings per share for 2018.
Earnings per share (EPS) 2018 = $2.21 per share
