Suppose Beta Co had $100$ million shares outstanding and

earned $$600$ million, therefore the 'Earning per Share' $($EPS$)$ is

$$6.$ Now suppose Beta sold another $100$ million shares

$($therefore total shares outstanding is $200$ million shares$)$ and

invested the funds received in assets that produced an

additional $$200$ million of income $($therefore total income is

$$800$ million$).$ Calculate new EPS.
