Answer:

Earnings per share 2016 = $0.00073

Earnings per share 2017 = $0.00095

Explanation:

Earnings per share relates to a period and not for a particular date, therefore, it is computed based on the average number of shares for the period.

Net income for each year

2017 = $62,000

2016 = $50,700

Shares at the end of year

2017 = 64,507,000

2016 = 66,282,000

2015 = 73,139,000

Average shares of 2016 = [tex]\frac{(73,139,000 + 66,282,000)}{2} = 69,710,500[/tex]

Average shares of 2017 = [tex]\frac{(64,507,000 + 66,282,000)}{2}[/tex] = 65,394,500

Earning per share for 2016 = [tex]\frac{50,700}{69,710,500} = $0.00073[/tex]

Earnings per share for 2017 = [tex]\frac{62,000}{65,394,500} = $0.00095[/tex]
