I remember EPS calculations, but I'm not sure if the market price is needed. It seems more related to valuation than earnings.

I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know EPS has to do with the company's profitability, but I'm not 100% sure which specific factors are required. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Okay, I remember learning about EPS in class. I think the key things are the net income and the number of common shares outstanding. The market price and preference share dividends aren't directly relevant.

Hmm, let me think this through. EPS is all about the company's earnings, so I'm guessing the dividend payment to preference shareholders wouldn't be needed, since that's not part of the core earnings.

I'm a bit confused by the different web service interactions in the two designs. I'll need to make sure I understand the flow of data and communication between OneBase and Blue Prism before I can decide which design is better.

Ah, I see! The market price of the shares is not needed for EPS. Makes sense, since that's more for the P/E ratio. Just gotta focus on the earnings and shares outstanding.
