Blue Wave Inc. is a satellite imaging company and had 82880 shares of common stock outstanding. At the end of 20X1, its simplified balance sheet is as follows:
Current assets
$615300
Accounts payable
$584400
Plant, property and equipment
2551600
Common Stock (82880 shares issued and outstanding)
2072000
Other non-current assets
527700
Retained Earnings
1038200
Total assets
$3694600
Total liab. and shareholders' equity
$3694600
Blue Wave needs $1018400 to purchase a software service at the beginning of 20X2 to enhance its imaging ability. This expense is a one-time expense. The new software is expected to increase its annual operating income (before interest expense and income tax) from $103400 to $430300. Blue Waves income tax rate is 25%.
Blue Wave has two options to get funding: one is to borrow the $1018400 from Gringotts Bank at an annual interest rate of 8%, interests payable monthly and principal repayable in 4 years. The other is to issue more common stock at $25 per share. Blue Wave currently pays dividends at 6.0% of common stock value.
If Blue Wave decides to issue 40736 shares of common stocks at $25 per share to pay for the software service, what is its earnings per share at the end of 20X2?
