    EPS = $1.44 (after rounding off)

    Explanation:

    The calculation of Earnings per share is as follows:

    Particulars Amount

    Earnings before interest and tax = 71325

    Less: amount of interest = 0

    Earnings before tax = $71325

    Less : the amount of tax (34 percent) = 2425.05

    Net income = $47074.5

    The number of shares given = 32,800

    The formula of calculating the earning per share is = Net income divided by the number of the shares of a company

    Thus, EPS = $47074.5 divided by 32,800 = $1.44 (rounded oof)
