On January 1, 2021, Perez Co. issued at par $10,000 of 6% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of Perez's common stock.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

EPS = $4.50

diluted EPS = $2.46

Explanation:

no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.  

common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks

bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks

net income = $4,500

bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420

diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46
