Sagot :

Answer: A. 0.89

B. 0.78

Explanation:

Outstanding common shares = 200,000

Additional shares = 50,000

Dividend = 0

Par value of preferred stock = $100

Net income = $300,000

a. The basic earnings per share will be:

= (Net income - Preferred dividend) / Weighted average number of shares

= [300000 - (20000 × $100 × 5%)] / (200,000 + 50,000 × 6/12)

= [300,000 - 100,000) / (200000 + 25000)

= 200,000 / 225,000

= 0.89

The diluted earnings per share will be:

= 300,000 / (200000 + 50000 × 6/12) + (20000 × 8)

= 300,000 / 200,000 + 25000 + 160,000

= 300,000 / 385,000

= 0.78
