    Did I calculate the earnings per share correct?
    Income Statement
    June 30
    Sales.. . $2,100,000
    Costs of goods sold... 1,260,000
    Gross margin... 840,000
    Selling and administrative expenses... 660,000
    Net operating income... 180,000
    Interest expense... 30,000
    Net income before taxes... 150,000
    Income taxes(30%)... 45,000
    Net income... $ 105,000

    Balance Sheet June 30
    Assets
    Current assets:
    cash... $ 21,000
    Accounts receivable, net... 160,000
    Merchandise inventory... 300,000
    Prepaid expenses... 9,000
    Total assets... 490,000
    Property and equipment, net... 810,000
    Total assets... 1,300,000

    Liabilities and stockholder's Equity
    Liabilities:
    Current liabilities... $ 200,000
    Bonds payable, 10%... 300,00
    Total liabilities...
    Stockholders' equity:...
    Common stock, $5 per value... $100,000
    Retained earnings... 700,000
    Total stockholders' equity... 800,000
    Total liabilities and stockholders' equity... 1,300,000

    Additional information, corporation pid dividends of $3.15 per share during the year. Company's common stock had a market price of $63 per share on June 30, and there was no change in the number of outstanding shares of common stock during the fiscal year.

    My answer is:

    I used the formula:
    net income - preferred dividends/average number of common shares outstanding
    Net income (105,000), since there was no preferred shares, no deductions from the net income. The next step was to divide by average # common shares outstanding(100,000), and I came up with $1.05

    $105,000/$100,000=$1.05 (earnings per share)

    Did I calculate this correctly?

    Actually you should divide the net income by 20,000 outstanding shares($100,000/$5 PAR VALUE) but instead you divided the net income by the amount of outstanding stocks.
