Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
Answer:
1. Ending Carrying value value in 2016 = legal cost for application which is $20,000
Ending Carrying value in 2017 = legal cost of application in 2016 + legal fees incurred in 2017 = $20,00 + $8000= $28,000
2. The company should not amortize the trade as it was not impaired in 2016 and 2017.
The trade name can be amortized if it's useful life is known above which the company has determined that it will not use the trade name anymore, then it will be amortized over it's useful life.

Explanation:
A press release should include important details about a company, events and upcoming important information. The most important information should be stated at the beginning because you only have limited time to capture the eyes of the audience. You need to fill them with the most information as fast as you can so that they remember the key points.
