Basic earning per share = $3.69

Explanation:

Earning per share (EPS) = earnings available to ordinary shareholders/ number of ordinary shares

Number of ordinary shares = 390,000 × 2 = 780,000 units

Net income                                           2,900,000

Preferred dividend                                ( 24,000)

Earnings available to shareholders     2,876,000

Number of ordinary shares                   780,000 units

Earnings per shares =   $2,876,000/780,000 units

                                  = $3.69
