Respuesta :

Answer:

Earnings per share = $2.25

Dividend per share =  $0.73

Explanation:

given data

sales = $749,000

costs = $306,000

depreciation expense = $58,000

interest expense = $39,000

tax rate = 35 percent

paid out dividends = $73,000

no of share  = 100,000

solution

first we get here Net income that is

Net income = Profit before tax (PBT) - Tax   .........1

EBIT =  sales  - costs - depreciation expense

EBIT =  $749,000 -  $306,000 - $58,000

EBIT = $385,000

and

Profit before tax  = EBIT - interest = $385,000 - $39,000 = $346,000

tax is = 35 % of Profit before tax

tax = 35% of $346,000 = $121,100

so

Net income = $346,000 - $121,100

Net income = 224,900

and

Earnings per share will be here as

Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares    ..................2

Earnings per share = [tex]\frac{224900}{100000}[/tex]

Earnings per share = $2.25

and  

Dividend per share will be here as

Dividend per share = Cash dividends ÷ Number of shares    .....................3

Dividend per share = [tex]\frac{73000}{100000}[/tex]

Dividend per share =  $0.73
