The preferred dividends were paid in 2014.

A)Basic earnings per share reported by Pop Company for 2014 is?

B) Diluted earnings per share reported by Pop Company for 2014 is ?

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of weighted average outstanding shares:

100,000 x 9/12 = 75,000

148,000 x 3 / 12 = 37,000

Total = 75,000 + 37,000 = 112,000

A) Calculation of Basic Earnings Per Share =

EPS = Net Income - Preferred Dividend / Weighted average shares outstanding

Preferred Dividend = 100 x 6% = $6 Per Share

Total dividend = 10,000 x 6 = $60,000

Basic EPS = 300,000 - 60,000 / 112,000 = $2.14 per share

B) Diluted Earnings Per Share =

After Tax interest on bond = 1000 x 8% = 80 x 500 = 40,000 x (1-0.40) = $24,000

Add: Net Income 300,000 = 324,000

Total Shares = Covertible bonds if converted in shares = 500 x 30 = 15,000

Preferred Stock converted in equity = 10,000 x 3 = 30,000

Total weighted diluted shares outstanding = 112,000 + 15,000 + 30,000 = 157,000

Diluted Earnings Per Share = 324,000 / 157,000 = $2.06 Per Share
