Well, technically "operating income" is not the number you use because it doesn't include interest expense or the taxes. You don't have any type of stuff here that would require dividing down EPS into sections. (You may not even have learned that yet.) So just use net income, which is not the same as operating income.

I'm not sure how outstanding shares cannot be authorized. Where are you getting information from about authorized shares? And the authorized shares is irrelevant to doing this. You just want outstanding shares.
