Earnings per share for 2018 is $5.5

Explanation:

Earning per share is the ratio of net earning of the business per outstanding share of the business after deducting the preferred dividend from net earning.

Net income = 256,500

preferred dividend = 30,000 x 4% = 1,200

Earning per share = ( Net Income - Preferred dividend ) / Outstanding shares

Earning per share = ( $256,500 - $1,200 ) / (48,000 common shares- 1,700 Treasury shares ) = $255,300 / 46,300 share = $5.5 per share
