What is the dividends per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Explanation / Answer

SALES = 607000

LESS:-COST = (314000)

LESS:-DEPRECIATION = (66000)

LESS:- INTERST EXPENSE = (43000)

EARNINGS BEFOR TAX = 184000

LESS:-TAX @ 35% [35% OF 184000] = (64400)

Net Income AFTER TAX = 119600


EPS = 119600/120000 = 1.00

DPS = 87600/120000 = 0.73
