If abc company earned $280,000 in net income and paid cash dividends of $40,000, what are abc's earnings per share if it has 80,000 shares outstanding?

To find earnings per share, simply divide the company's net income by the number of shares that are outstanding. In this case, the values are $280,000/80,000. This gives a value of $3.50 for the earnings per share outstanding. Dividends, in this case, are not necessary for the calculation.
