Financial statement data for the years 20Y5 and 20Y6 for Black Bull Inc. follow: 20Y5 20Y6
Net income $1,508,000 $2,676,000
Preferred dividends $60,000 $60,000
Average number of
common shares outstanding 80,000 shares 120,000 shares
a. Determine the earnings per share for 20Y5 and 20Y6.
b. Is the change in the earnings per share from 20Y5 to 20Y6 favorable or unfavorable?

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the earning per share is given below:

As we know that

Earning per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (average no of common shares oustanding)

For 20Y5

= ($1,508,000 - $60,000)  ÷ 80,000 shares

= $18.1

For 20Y6

= ($2,676,000 - $60,000) ÷ 120,000 shares

= $21.8

b. Since the earning per share is increased from 20Y5 to 20Y6 so it is favorable
