    Calculate the Denominator for Earnings Per Share
    I'm thinking it goes like this...

    Net income-Preferred dividends/average # of common shares outstanding = EPS

    Is this correct?

    Thanks

    Yes. But since you titled it "calculating the denominator," does that mean you're having trouble doing that part? They mean the average of the beginning and ending balances of shares.
