Answer:
Diluted earnings per share for 2021 is: <u>$2.19 per share</u>.
Explanation:
Amount of increase in net income if bonds are converted = Total value of convertible bonds * Bond rate * (100% - Tax rate) = $1580000 * 4% * (100% - 35%) = $41,080
Total earnings available to Equity Shareholders = Net income + Amount of increase in net income if bonds are converted = $599000 + $41,080 = $640,080
Number of shares of common stock = 205,000
Number of common shares obtainable from preferred stock = 39,800
Number of common shares obtainable from convertible bonds = (Total value of convertible bonds / $1,000) * 30 = ($1580000 / $1,000) * 30 = 47,400
Total number of shares outstanding = Number of shares of common stock + Number of common shares obtainable from preferred stock + Number of common shares obtainable from convertible bonds = 205,000 + 39,800 + 47,400 = 292,200
Diluted earnings per share = Total earnings available to Equity Shareholders / Total number of shares outstanding = $640,080 / 292,200 = $2.19 per share
Therefore, we have:
Diluted earnings per share for 2021 is: <u>$2.19 per share</u>.
