Henderson-Niles’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2018, is $620 million. The income tax rate is 40%. Henderson-Niles paid dividends of $2 per share on its preferred stock during 2018.
Required:
Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. (Enter your answers in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10).)
Explanation / Answer
BASIC EPS CALCULATION
The preferred dividend is = 70 Million x $ 2/share
= 140 Million
Basic EPS = ( Net income - preferred dividends ) / weighted average common shares
= ( $ 620 Million - $ 140 Million ) / 100
Basic EPS = $ 4.80 / Share
DILUTED EPS CALCULATION
After-tax bond interest expense = $ 1100 x 10% = $ 110 Million
$ 110 Million x (100 - 40%) = $ 66 Million after-tax interest expense.
Shares assume converted to common
Common Shares = 100 Million
Preferred stock = 40 Million
Convertible bonds = 14.50 Million
TOTAL = 154.50 Million shares outstanding
Diluted EPS = ( $ 620 Million - $ 140 Million + $ 66 Million + $ 66 Million ) / 154.50
= $ 612 Million / 154.50 million shares
Diluted EPS = $ 3.96 / Share
