Answer #1

Earnings per share on common stock =

Net Income available to common stock holders / Shares of common stock outstanding

Net Income available to common stock holders = $758,420 - $56,180 = $702,240

Net Income available to common stock holders = $702,240

Earnings per share = $702,240 / 48,000 shares

Earnings per share = $14.63 per share
