    waffle had share capital of 7.5million in 50c equity shares at october 20×6 . on january 20×7 it made an issue of 4 million shares at full market price immediately followed by a 1 for 3 bonus issye the financial statement at 30 september 20×7 showed profit for the year of 12 million .
    what wa sEPS for the year
    A 53c
    B 73c
    C 48c
    D 50c

    therefore 15000 shares then + 4000*9/12 (jan to sep)+ 18000/3 bonus issue the we get ans D 50c

    but doubt is we should do on outstanding bases right
    then it should be 15000*3/12 (oct to dec) can you clarify me sir
    thank you in advance

    15,000,000 x 3/12 x 4/3 = 5,000,000
    (19,000,000 + 6,333,333) x 9/12 = 19,000,000

    WANES = 24,000,000

    Earnings are 12,000,000

    Therefore EPS is 12,000 / 24,000 = 50c per share

    Post again if you don’t understand

    🙂

    can you please explain how do you get this one
    (19,000,000 + 6,333,333) x 9/12 = 19,000,000

    6,333,333?

    Hi,

    They had 19,000,000 shares and did a one-for-three bonus issue, so multiply the 19,000,000 by 1/3 to give the 6,333,333.

    Thanks

    Can you explain please where 4/3 came from in this equation

    15,000,000 x 3/12 x 4/3 = 5,000,000

    And also the 15 000 000.

    Thank you so much

    It is the bonus fraction. They did a 1-for-3 bonus issue. There were 3 shares in issue before and 4 after, hence 4/3.

    Thanks

    Hi sir, I have a question here, for the fresh issue of 4000 on 1 Jan, why doesn’t it required to multiply by the bonus fraction?

    My workings:
    1 OCt x6 15000 x 3/12 x 4/3 = 5000
    1 Jan x7 4000
    ——–
    19000 x 9/12 x 4/3 =19000
    (bonus1/3) 6333 x 9/12 = 4749.75
    ————
    28749.75

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    You only apply the fraction to the shares that have been in issue previously to take account of the free shares that have been issued. The 4,000 are the free shares that have been issued and so there is no need to make an adjustment.

    Thanks

    Thank you Sir,

    So for the 4000 is not required to multiply by the bonus fraction as it is issued on the same date as the bonus issue, and not been issue previously, did i interpret it correctly?

    thank you so much
