Weighted average shares = total number of shares remains outstanding during year divided by number of months
For example: during first 6 months total outstanding shares are 100000
on 1st July company issues 100000 more share
Now total shares = 200000
SO weighted average share = (100000 * 12 + 100000 * 6)/12
weighted average shares = 1800000/12 = 150000
OR
weighted average shares = (200000 + 100000) /2 = 150000

∙ 14y agoSay for example 60,000 shares of stock were outstanding for 3 of 12 months for 2010. For the rest of the year, 9 of 12 months, 84,000 shares of stock were outstanding.
You would multiply 60,000 by (3/12) and 84,000 by (9/12), add them up and that would be your weighted average number of shares.
So 60,000 x (3/12) = 15,000 shares
84,000 x (9/12) = 63,000 shares
Weighted Avg. Num. of Shares = 15,000 + 63,000 = 78,000

Explain how both a stock split and a stock dividend affect the computation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding?

How is weighted number of shares calculated for the EPS computation?
The number is obtained by dividing a financial year into sub-periods based on the number of times the number of outstanding shares changes during the year. If it has changed five times, there will be 5 sub-periods. After that, you have to multiply the corresponding fraction of the fiscal year by the number of shares outstanding in that portion of the year. The sum of all the subtotals is a weighted average of outstanding shares. See the link below for an example

Please seek other reading before using this assessment to form any part of an investment decision.Please also note that this is different from diluted EPS and the Adjusted figures which may also appear on the income statementThe answer above is correct, but I'd like to explain in other words:To calculate EPS, first find the earnings available to the common stockholders by subtracting preferred dividends from earnings after taxes, and then divide by the number of common shares outstanding.EPS is a very good indicator of a company's performance. It measures the amount of earnings per each outstanding share of a company's stock.Formula:EPS = Net Profit / Total No. of Common Shares orEPS = Net Income / Total No. of Common SharesHere the EPS calculated from the Net Profit would always be lesser than the one calculate from the Net Income but invariably both give us a good measure of the ability of the company to grow and generate additional revenue.Usually EPS values are compared between companies or between values of the same company over a period of years.
