Question

Information from the financial statements of Henderson-Niles Industries included the following at December 31, 2016:

  

Henderson-Niles’ net income for the year ended December 31, 2016, is $920 million. The income tax rate is 40%. Henderson-Niles paid dividends of $3 per share on its preferred stock during 2016.

Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Information from the financial statements of Henderson-Niles Industries included the following at December 31, 2016:

Explanation / Answer

Basic earnings per share = $920 million - (65 million * $3) / 100 million shares

= $7.25

Diluted earnings per share:

Dividends not paid $195 millions

Additional shares 30 million shares

Conversion ratio = $195 / 30

= $6.5

Interest not paid (net of tax) = (2600 millions * 10%)*60%

= $156 millions

Additional shares = 21.5 million shares

Conversion ratio = $156 / 21.5

= $7.26

Diluted Earnings per share = $920 - $195 + $195 / 100 + 30

= $7.07
