    Q.Waffle had 15 Million Shares at 1 Oct 2006. On 1 Jan 2007 He Made An issue of 4 Million Shares at Market Value Full immediately followed by 1/3 Bonus Issue . Financial statements on 30 Sept 2007 showed profit of 12 million.
    What is EPS?
    The Answer was 50c which was found without using Bonus fraction in solution I don’t understand why bonus fraction not used In calculating Weighted Average Shares

    Whose question is this? I really hope that it’s not mine!

    From what I can see, the answer HAS used the bonus fraction, but has failed to add in the bonus shares.

    I have:

    15 x 3/12 x 4/3 and
    19 x 9/12 x 4/3

    That gives 5 million and 19 million when multiplied through but appears to ignore the 6,333,333 bonus shares

    ???

    It was in bpp kit( June 2015) and they didn’t use bonus fraction , I think the rules of standard must have changed for December attempt I suppose , I had same calculation as yours but didnt get answer

    That’s a worry! I don’t know of any rule change!!!

    Maybe you could contact BPP and see if they can throw any light on the matter?
