C. $0.89.
D. $0.94.

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.64

Explanation:

Diluted earning per share is calculated by adjusting all the convertible share options or securities in the outstanding share.

According to given data

Net Income for the year =  $6,600,000

Outstanding shares =  4,000,000 shares

Number of shares to be converted = 2,200 x 10 share = 22,000

Outstanding shares after adjusting options = 4,00,000 + 22,000 = 4,022,000 shares

Diluted EPS = Net Income / Outstanding share after adjustment

Diluted EPS = $6,600,000 / 4,022,000 = $1.64
