    For calculating earnings per share, we are going to need net income.

    Net income before tax = Sales - (Costs + Depreciation expenses + Interest expense)

    = 595000 - (263000 + 66000 + 33000)

    = 595000 - 362000

    Net income before tax = $233,000

    Tax paid by the firm = 30% of 233000

    = (30/100) x 233000

    Amount of tax = $69,900

    So, net income after tax = 233000 - 69900

    = $163,100

    Earnings per share (EPS)

    EPS is that portion of the company's earnings that is assigned to each company stock. It is an indicator of the company's profitability. EPS is calculated as -

    EPS = Net income / Average outstanding common shares

    We are given that outstanding common shares = 50,000

    Also, we have just calculated net income = $163,100

    So, EPS = 163100 / 50000 = 3.262

    Therefore, required earnings per share is 3.26.

    2. Dividend Per Share (DPS)

    DPS is the sum of dividends paid by the company against each of its outstanding shares. A company's DPS is mostly calculated quarterly and it is used in calculating dividend yield. DPS can be calculated as -

    DPS = Total sum of dividends / Average outstanding common shares

    = 41000 / 50000

    DPS = 0.82

    Therefore, required dividends per share is 0.82.
