Respuesta :

Answer:

$1.50 per share

Explanation:

The formula to compute the earning per share is shown below:

Earning per share = (Net income reported - preferred stock dividend declared) ÷ (Weighted average of common shares outstanding Number of shares)

= ($600,000 - $150,000) ÷ (300,000 shares)

= $1.50 per share

The rest of the items would be ignored for computing the earning per share
