Question

The information below pertains to Barkley Company for 2015.

Answer 1

Answer:

EPS: 3.04

Diluted EPS:  2.50

Explanation:

Earnings per share:

$EPS = \frac{income - preferred \: dividends}{common \: stock}$

preferred dividends: 2,112,000 x 6% = 126,720

2,240,000 income - 126,720 = 2,113,280‬

outstanding shares:

$6,959,000 / 10 each = 695,900

EPS 2,113,280 / 695,900 = 3,03675

Diluted EPS:

we will calculate as if all possible new share option are exercised.

convertible bonds

2,240,000 / 1,000 = 2,240 bonds

2,240 bonds x 30 possible new shares = 67,200

convertible preferred stock

2,112,000 / 100 = 2,112 preferred stock

2.112 x 3 possible new shares = 6,336‬

stock option: 75,800

Total shares: 695,900 + 67,200 + 6,336 + 75,800 = 845,236

2,113,280‬ / 845,236 = 2,50022 = 2.50
