On April 1, 20,000 shares were issued and on September 1, Nosloc bought 30,000 shares of treasury stock. There are 30,000 options to buy common stock at $40 a share outstanding.

Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. Instructions Compute diluted earnings per share for 2019. Show all computations.

Answer 1

Answer:

diluted EPS = $2.05

Explanation:

diluted earnings per share = net income / (weighted common stocks outstanding + diluted shares).

net income = $800,000

weighted common stocks outstanding:

January 1, 200,000 common stocks

April 1, 20,000 stocks issued = 20,000 x 9/12 = 15,000 common stocks

September 1, 30,000 treasury stocks purchased = -30,000 x 4/12 = -10,000

total weighted stocks outstanding = 205,000

diluted shares:

30,000 options at $40 per stock = [($50 - $40) / $50] x 30,000 = 6,000

2,000 bonds x 30 stocks = 60,000

preferred stock = 40,000 x 3 = 120,000

total diluted shares = 186,000

diluted EPS = $800,000 / (205,000 + 186,000) = $2.05
