Question

A company made a net profit after tax (NPAT) of K85000000 and all of the NPAT was paid as dividend for the 500000 shares. What is the earning per share?

Answer 1

To find the earning per share, divide the net profit after tax (NPAT) by the number of shares:

Earning per share = NPAT / Number of shares

Earning per share = K85000000 / 500000

Earning per share = K170
