Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The earning per share is

= (PAT - income tax discontinued operations - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock

= ($2,460,000 - $300,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)

= $41.2 per share

b. The earning per share is

= (PAT - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock

= ($2,460,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)

= $47.2 per share
