    (a). Earning during 2010 = $170,000

    (a). Earning per share = $4.25/share

    Explanation:

    Earning during 2010

    Retained Earnings On December 31, 2009 = $500,000

    Retained Earnings On December 31, 2010 = 640,000

    Dividend paid during 2010 = $30,000

    Earning for the year = 640,000+30,000-500,000 = 170,000

    Earning per share

    Earning for the year = 170,000

    No of Shares outstanding = 40,000

    Earning per share = 170,000/40,000 = $4.25/share
