Butoxors [25]

Answer: $4.34

Explanation:

The net income for diluted earnings per share will be calculated as:

Net income: $2,500,000

Less: preferred dividend: $300,000

= $2,200,000

To calculate the number of shares goes thus:

Total shares of stock options = 10,000 × 20 = 200,000 shares

Proceeds = 200,000 × $29

= $580,000

Shares of treasury stock will be:

= $580,000/$30

= 193,333 shares

Net shares added will be:

= 200000 - 193333

= 6667

Tge total shares for the diluted earnings per share will now be:

= 500,000 + 6667

= 506,667

The diluted earnings per share:

= $2,200,000/506667

= $4.34
