The increase in earnings per share is 44.59%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                   Last Year       5% increase

Sales revenue          $884,000        $928,200

Variable costs            447,000           469,350

Contribution            $437,000         $458,850

Fixed costs               400,000            400,000

Operating income    $37,000            $58,850

Interest expense        36,000              36,000

Income before tax         1,000              22,850

Income taxes             50,000              50,000

Net loss                   $49,000             $27,150

Increase = 44.59% ($21,850/$49,000 * 100)
