Answer: $2.64

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the outstanding diluted share will be calculated as:

= 300,000 + 15000(5/30)

= 300000 + 15000(0.16667)

= 300000 + 2500

= 302500

The amount that Kasravi Co. should report for diluted earnings per share for the year ended 2018 will be calculated as:

Diluted Earning per share = Net income /outstanding diluted share

= $800,000 / 302,500

= $2.64

ANSWER = (c) $2.64
