Earnings r Share Basic Diluted

Explanation / Answer

1. Basic Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to equity shareholders / Number of equity shares outstanding

= $ 264000 + $ 236000 / 40000+ 80000 = $ 4.17 per share

2. Diluted earnings per share = $ 264000+ $ 236000+ $ 48000+ $ 36000 / 40000+80000+ 8000+10000 = $ 4.23 per share.
