Hold on, is this a trick question? The numbers seem a bit too perfect. Maybe they're trying to lure us into a trap!

Ah, the classic 'what's the EPS' question. Better brush up on my financial accounting, or I'll be singing the blues on this one.

Hmm, looks like we need to calculate the weighted average of the shares to get the correct earnings per share. Let's see, where's my calculator?
