Looking at the financials for the good old XYZ Corp, in 2016 they had a retained earnings balance of $7,933 million. In 2017, just one year later, it was $9,557 million! XYZ sold no stock during the year BUT they did pay out $442 million in common stock dividends. You also know that their DPS for 2017 is $0.51.
This is a two part question: part :; what must have been XYZ's net income for the year? AND part 2: how many shares of stock must be outstanding?
