Answer:
EPS is $2.8 per share
Diluted EPS is $2.4 per share
Explanation:
Basic Earning per share is calculated dividing Earning for the year excluding preferred dividend by weighted average number of shares.
Basic EPS = (Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Weighted Average numbers of share
Basic EPS = ($592,000 - ( 19,100 x $0.9 ) / 205,000 = $2.8 per share
Diluted earning per share is calculated by adjusting all the convertible share options or securities in the outstanding share.
Diluted EPS = (Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Diluted numbers of share
Diluted EPS = ($592,000 - $17,190) / ( 205,000 + 39,000 )
Diluted EPS = $2.4 per share
All the option given are inconsistent with data given.
