Explanation / Answer

Number of common stock outstanding as on 31 Dec, 2013:

= 750 mill (Beginning of year) - 50 mill (Treasury Stock repurchase) = 700 mill

(Note: Sale of preferred stock does not impact common stock oustanding)

So

(a) Net loss per share = $180 mill / 700 mill = $0.26

(b) Income from continuing operations = Net Loss - (extraordinary loss) = - 180 mill - (- 480 mill) = $300 mill net income

Number of outstanding shares = 700 mill (as calculated above)

So, Income from continuing operations per share = $300 mill / 700 mill = $0.43
