    Dorabella has the following capital and reserves on the 1 April 2001
    $000
    Share capital $1 O.share 7,000
    Share premium 900
    Rev. Reserves 500
    R. E. 9,000
    Total shareholder’s funds= 17,400

    Dorabella makes a bonus issue, of one share for every seven held , on 31 August 2002.
    Dorabella Plc results are as follows :
    Profit after tax 2003 : $1,150,000 and 2002 $ 750,000

    Calculate EPS for the year ending 31 March 2003 , together with the comparative EPS for 2002 that would be presented in the 2003 accounts .

    Answer : EPS for 2012 is 750,000/8,000,000= $ 0.094
    EPS for 2003 is 1,150,000/8,000,000 = $0.144
    Again my question is how do they arrive at the number of shares used in EPS calculation for both years 7,000,000 + 1,000,000

    The bottom half of page 117 in the course notes deals with this issue of bonus shares together with the example Larissa on page 118

    Both of your problems about 7 million and 1 million shares should be clearer when you have re-worked the Larissa example

    OK?
