Answer 1

numerator = net income - preferred dividend

denominator = number of outstanding common shares

2016

numeratio = 400-1 = 399

denominator = 65-(6*(6/12)) = 62

EPS = 399/62 = 6.44

2017

numeratio = 500-1 = 499

denominator = (71*1.50)-((6*(6/12)*1.50) = 102

EPS = 499/102 = 4.89

2018

numeratio = 444-2 = 442

denominator = (97.5*1.10)+((3*(4/12))= 108.25

EPS = 442/108.25 = 4.08

therefore,

year	Numerator	/	Denominator	=	Earnings per share
2016	399	/	62	=	6.44
2017	499	/	102	=	4.89
2018	442	/	108.25	=	4.08
