Answer:

The earnings per share for the year ended 31st December 2021 is $0.52

Explanation:          

                                                                  million

Net income                                                   $426,000,000

preferred dividends(2million*8%)                         ($160,000)

Net income attributable to common shares   $425,840,000

Earnings per share =earnings attributable to common stock/common stock

common stock 820,000,000

Earnings per share=$425,840,000/820,000,000

Earnings per share=$0.52

The earnings attributable to each common  stock is $0.52 per share

The earnings per share is the dividend potential of Noble corporation, which implies the amount from  which dividends can be paid and also from investment projects can also be funded as retained earnings is the cheapest form of finance from availability and affordability points of views.
