    McDonnell-Myer's earnings per share for the year is $1.3

    Explanation:

    Given data

    net income = $741 million

    common shares = 544 million

    sold share = 36 million

    shares were retired = 6 million

    per share = $47

    to find out

    McDonnell-Myer's earnings per share for the year

    solution

    we know common shares outstanding at 1 January = 544 million

    so we say share sold 28 feb = 36 million that mean = 36 * (10/12) = 30

    and share repurchased 30 April = 6 million that mean = 6 * (8 / 12) = 4

    so total no of share outstanding at end of year = 544 + 30 - 4 = 570 million

    so

    earning per share = net earning / no of share

    earning per share = 741 / 570

    earning per share = $ 1.3

    McDonnell-Myer's earnings per share for the year is $1.3
