SUMMARISED STATEMENTS OF PROFIT OR LOSS FOR THE YEARS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER:
20X1 20X0
$’000 $’000
Revenue 58,500 41,000
Cost of sales (46,500) (30,000)
Gross profit 12,000 11,000

Income tax expense (1,000) (1,800)
Profit for the year 2,900 5,000(iii) On 1 April 20X1 there was a bonus issue of shares that was funded first from the share premium account
and then from the revaluation surplus account. This was followed immediately on the same day in April by
an issue of shares for cash at par.
(iv) The movement in the product warranty provision has been included in cost of sales.
the Answer is(b) Earnings per share 30 September 20X0
5,000,000/8,000,000 = $0.63 per share
Earnings per share 30 September 20X1
2,900,000/(8,000,000 u 6/12) + (14,000,000 u 6/12) = $0.26 per sharefor 20×1
The total share including bonus shares should be 8000+3600=11600k into 6/12
then 14000k into 6/12please clarify this matter Sir,
Thanks,

You are correct within your understanding of adding the 3,600 bonus shares to the figures but you then need to apply the bonus fraction to the now 11,600 shares in issue (8,000 + 3,600).
The bonus fraction is the number before divided by the number after, which is 8,000 / 11,600. If you multiply this by the 11,600 and the 6/12 then you still get to the same answer. The answer shown takes a short cut that I doubt many would even try to do in the exam.
Thanks
