The earnings per share was $0.40

First calculate the pretax income for the period:

= Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses - interest expenses

= 10,000 - 5,000 - 3,000 - 1,000

= $1,000

Then find the post tax income:

= Pretax income x (1 - tax rate)

= 1,000 x ( 1 - 20%)

= $800

The earnings per share is:

= Post tax income / Number of shares

= 800 / 2,000

= $0.40

The earnings per share is $0.40 per share.
