Explanation / Answer

Requirement (a):

Basic earnings per share:

Particulars

Amount ($)

Net income for the year

1170000

Less: Preference dividend

(3990000 X 6%)

239400

Earnings available to common shareholders

930600

(6290000/10)

629000

Basic Earnings per share

Earnings available to common shareholders

930600

Number of common shares

629000

Basic Earnings per share (930600/629000)

          1.48

Requirement (b):

Particulars

Amount ($)

8% convertible bond

2060000

Par value of each bond

1000

Number of bonds (2060000/1000)

2060

Number of common stocks to be resulted from conversion of bond

Each convertible bond

30 comon shares

Number of bonds (2060000/1000)

2060

Number of common stock (2060 x 30)

61800

Increase in earnings

98880

Number of common stock

61800

EPS on the above

1.6

Not diluted hence, not to be considered

Preference dividend

(3990000 X 6%)

239400

Preference share value

3990000

Par value of each preference share

100

Number of preference shares (3990000/100)

39900

Number of common stock for each preference share

3

Total common stock to be issued (39900 x 3)

119700

EPS from above

Preference dividend

(3990000 X 6%)

239400

Total common stock to be issued (39900 x 3)

119700

EPS on the above (239400 /119700)

2

Again not diluted hence, not to be considered.

Thus, since both the conversion of preference stock into common stock as well as conversion of convertible bond will not dilute the earnings per share of the company thus, the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share of the company will be same. Thus, the diluted earnings per share of the company will be $1.48, i.e. exactly same as that of basic earnings per share of the company as calculated in the first part of this problem.
