for every 80 cents earning per share , the shareholder receives half of it (40 cents)

For every 10 cents increase over 80 cents, shareholder receives additional 4 cents per share

now the earning per share was 110 cents (OR 80 +30 cents), so the shareholder would earn 40 + 3*4 = 52 cents per share

for 200 shares = 200*52 = 10400 cents or 104 dollars
