    Waffle had share capital of $7.5 million in 50c equity shares at 1 October 20X6. On 1 January 20X7 it made an issue of 4 million shares at full market price immediately followed by a 1 for 3 bonus issue.
    The financial statements at 30 September 20X7 showed profit for the year of $12 million.
    What was EPS for the year?

    1. The answer is $0.50.
    2. There are just the workings in the kit. Could explain those workings

    Shares
    ‘000
    B/f (7,500 / 0.5) 15,000
    Full market price issue (4,000 × 9/12) 3,000
    Bonus issue (18,000 / 3) 6,000
    24,000

    Thanks.

    Because the issue at full price existed only for 3/4 of the year, it is the case that the bonus issue related to those new shares could also apply for only 3/4 of the year

    Is it possible to apply a bonus fraction to non-existent shares? I believe not!

    OK?
