The net income for year 2016 – $550,000 The preferred dividends paid in 2016 – $50,000 At the beginning of year 2016, common shares outstanding were 40,000 shares.

Here’s the calculation Weighted average number of common shares = (40,000 * 1) + (50,000 * 0.5) = 40,000 + 25,000 = 65,000 shares. Now we will find eps (earnings per share) EPS formula = (Net Income – Preferred Dividends) / Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Or. EPS formula = ($550,000 – $50,000) / 65,000 Or, EPS = $500,000 / 65,000 = $7.69 per share.
