    Darby's correct response is $0.045 per share.

    Because we can calculate earnings per share by taking net income after taxes and then dividing it by the total number of common shares that are issued.

    Income after taxes = $2,000,000

    shares = $44,000,000

    Earnings per share = $2,000,000 / $44,000,000

    =$2/$44

    =$0.045
