Question

XYZ Company had 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2020. On July 1, 2021, XYZ issued an additional 44,000 shares for cash. On January 1, 2021, XYZ issued 16,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock had a par value of $100 per share and paid a 6% dividend. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 8 shares of common. During 2021, XYZ paid the regular annual dividend on the preferred and common stock. Net income for the year was $270,000. Required: Calculate XYZ's basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

The XYZ Company's basic earnings per share are $0.71, while the diluted earnings per share are $0.72.

Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Common stock shares on Dec. 31, 2020 = 200,000 shares

July 1, 2021, Issuance of 44,000 shares

Total outstanding common stock

January 1, 2021, Issuance of 16,000 convertible preferred stock

Par value of preferred stock = $100 per share

The Dividend rate of preferred stock = 6%

Convertibility of preferred stock = 8 common shares

Net income = $270,000

Preferred dividend = $96,000 ($1,600,000 x 6%)

Earnings for common stockholders = $174,000 ($270,000 - $96,000)

Basic earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred Dividend)/244,000

= ($174,000)/244,000

= $0.71

Convertible Preferred into Common stock = 128,000 (16,000 x 8) shares

Total shares = 372,000 (244,000 + 128,000)

Diluted earnings per share = $270,000/372,000

= $0.73
