Basic earnings per share

Shares outstanding at the beginning of the year          200,000 shares

Add additional shares issued                                          40,000 shares

Total shares outstanding                                                 240,000 shares

(200,000+40,000)

Add 50% stock dividend distributed                               120,000 shares

(50% x 240,000)

Basic earning per share                                                  360,000 shares

(240,000+120,000)

Inconclusion the amount of shares that Stam should use to calculate basic earnings per share is 360,000 share.
