    Earnings per share of Concord Corporation for the year 2022 = $2.83

    Explanation:

    As for the information provided we have,

    Earning per share to be computed for Concord Corporation for 2022

    Note: Earning per share is computed for a period, and not for the particular date as it relates to the return on investment.

    Therefore, Earnings per share for equity = Earnings for equity for the year concerned/Average number of shares outstanding

    Average number of shares outstanding = (Opening equity + Closing Equity) / 2

    Equity shares in the beginning of 2022 = 180 million

    Since no information for losing shares given thus, assumed same as of beginning.

    Net income for equity = Net income - Pref dividend = $535 - $26 = $509 million

    Earnings per share = $509 million/180 million

    = $2.83 per share
