Answer:

B. $7.58

Explanation:

earnings per share = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average of shares outstanding

shares outstanding:

January 1: 100,000 x 12/12 = 100,000

October 1: -20,000 x 3/12 = -5,000

weighted average = 95,000

EPS = $720,000 / 95,000 = $7.5789 =$7.58

Stock options are not included in the basic EPS calculation.
