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
