I don't understand the effect of the Share Dividend Column - how do they get 1.10? And how come in December they only have it 1, not 1.10?
Time Period Outstanding Shares Effect of Share Dividend Fraction of year Weighted Average
Jan-March 500,000 x 1.10 x 3/12 137,500
Apr-October 540,000 x 1.10 x 7/12 346,500
Nov 510,000 x 1.10 x 1/12 46,750
Dec 561,000 x 1 x 1/12 46.750
Weighted-average outstanding shares 577.500
Earnings per share under the assumption of the 10% stock dividend would be:
Basic earnings per share = 880,000 net income - 250,000 preferred dividends declared
577,500
