Answer:

Revised EPS = 0.086

Explanation:

Value of product is calculated as

value of product = number of shares × price of one share\

                           = 6200000 × 18.38

                           = $113,956,000

number of shares used by EPS

Shares = 6200000 ×0.67 = 4,154,000

shares need to have for financing is given as

[tex]shares = \frac{88600000}{18.38}[/tex]

shares = 48,204,570.19

[tex]Revised EPS = \frac{4154000}{48204570.19}[/tex]

                      = 0.086
