Aliza Farrell · Answer 1

The preparation of the 2021 EPS presentation for the Esposito Import Company is shown below:

Income from continuing operations $7 million

Less: Loss from discontinued operations ($1.4 million)

Net income $5.6 million

Now the earning per share would be

Earning per share = (Net income) : (Number of shares)

= ($5.6 million) : (1 million shares)

= $5.6 per share
