intermediate accounting II

not sure what i did wrong when calculating this. please show work and explain. thank you.

my work (shown below)

1,190,000 * 12/12 => 1,190,000 * 1.05 = 1,249,500

125,000 * 8/12 => 83,333.3333 * 1.05 = 87,500

132,000 * 7/12 => 77,000

1,249,500 + 87,500 + 77,000 = 1,414,000

 

numerator / denominator = earnings per share
995,000 / 1,414,000   0.70
