Question

Ahnberg Corporation had 560,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at January 1. No common shares were issued during the year, but on January 1, Ahnberg issued 180,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. The preferred shares are convertible into 360,000 shares of common stock. During the year Ahnberg paid $108,000 cash dividends on the preferred stock. Net income was $1,060,000. What were Ahnberg's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year

Answer 1

Answer:

Basic earnings per share = $1.7

Diluted earnings per share = $1.03

Explanation:

Basic earnings per share = (Net Income - preferred dividends)/Weighted average shares outstanding

Basic earnings per share = (1,060,000-108,000)/560,000

Basic earnings per share = $1.7

Diluted earnings per share = [Net Income - preferred dividend]/(outstanding shares+Diluted Shares)

Diluted earnings per share = (1,060,000-108,000) / (560,000+360,000 )

Diluted earnings per share = $1.03
