Answer:

d) $4.00.

Explanation:

Net Income = $34,000

Common shares outstanding = 8,500 shares

Earning Per share = Net Income for the period / Common shares outstanding

Earning Per share = $34,000 / 8,500 shares

Earning Per share = $4 per share

The company's earnings per share is $4.

Divided declared has nothing to do in the calculation of Earning per share because we just measure the earning against each share which involves net income and number of outstanding shares only.
