(a) What was the company’s earnings per share for each year?

2021

Earnings per share = ( Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Weighted average number of shares

Weighted average number of shares = (Beginning share + Ending shares ) / 2

= (78,630,000 + 71,772,000) / 2

= $75,201,000‬

Earnings per share = 69,184,000 / 75,201,000

= $0.92

2022

Weighted average number of shares = (Beginning share + Ending shares ) / 2

= (71,772,000 + 70,000,000) / 2

= $70,886,000‬

Earnings per share = 85,062,000 / 70,886,000‬

= $1.20
