    The solution for the problem is:

    You first get the shares repurchased = 300,000 / (4,187,000/127,500) = 9,135.42 shares

    And then followed by the shares outstanding = 127,000 - 9,135.42 = 117,864.58 shares

    Now you can compute for the EPS = [215,600 - (300,000 * 0.06) / 117,864.58 = $1.68
