Floated

Face value

Earnings per share

Answer 1

The Par Value is the stated value. It is sometimes referred to as the face value. Think of it as the normal value.

Float = total number of outstanding shares minus total number of restricted shares. Essentially the total number of shares available for trading.

Floated does not have a specific finance term far as I know.

Earnings per Share (EPS) = Net income divided by total number of outstanding shares. Essentially this is the profit divided by total number of shares. Think of the EPS as the profit generated from each share for the specific time period.
