4a. Assume the same facts as above except for net income included in the loss from discontinuted operations of $19,500 net of income taxes. Compute basic EPS. You do not have to calculate diluted EPS for this case. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent.

4b. Show how the basic EPS you calculated should be reported to shareholders. You do not have to calculate diluted EPS.

Income from continuted operations

Loss from discontinuted operations

Net income

  

Explanation / Answer

1. The total number of shares = 12,000 + 1500 + 1000 = 14,500 shares

2. The basic EPS = Net Income/ Total shares = 50,000/14,500 = $3.45/share

3. Diluted EPS:

Number of shares of common stock = 14,500

Number of sharesconverted from prefrred stock if all of them are converted = 1250 *3 = 3750

Number of shares convererd from bonds if all of them are convereted = 125000*20/1000 = 2500

So total number of shares = 14500 + 3750 + 2500 = 20,750

Diluted EPS = 50000/20750 = $2.41/share

Incremental earnings per share bonds = 2500/(2500+3750) * (3.45-2.41) = 0.416 = 0.42

Incremental earnings per share of preferred stock = 1.04 - 0.42 = 0.62

4a. Now the net income = 50000 - 19500 = 30500

Basic EPS = 30500/14500 = 2.10

4b. Income From continued operations = 50,000

Loss from discontinued operations = 19.500

Net Income = 30,500 ( 50,000 -19,500)
