    The Earnings per share of Markus Company is $0.97.

    Explanation:

    We have the Earning per share of Markus Company = The firm's net income / The firm's weighted average share outstanding

    in which:

    Net income is given at $128,625

    Share outstanding is the same at the beginning and the ending of the year, so weighted average share outstanding is calculated as: Common stock account balance / par value = 133,000/1 = 133,000 shares outstanding.

    So, Earning per share = Net income / Weighted average share outstanding = 128,625/133,000 = $0.97 (Round your answer to 2 decimal places).
