    Basic EPS = 1.8

    Explanation:

    March 1 outstanding shares = 700,000 - 60,000 = 640,000

    June 1 outstanding shares = 640,000 * 2 = 1,280,000

    November 1 outstanding shares = 1,280,000 + 240,000 = 1,520,000

    Net income = $2,720,000.

    Basic earnings per shares (EPS) =

    income available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares outstanding

    =$2,720,000/1,520,000 units = 1.789

    Basic EPS = 1.8
