Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by Net Income/Number of Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding. In this scenario the formula is:
EPS = $517,000/1.36m
EPS = $0.38 per share

The dividend yield is calculated by Dividends Paid per Share/Market Price of 1 Common Share AT THE END OF THE PERIOD (important to use this price). Therefore:
DY = 11.4/800 = 1.43%
