Instructions
(a) Compute the basic earnings per share for 2010. (Round to the nearest penny.)
(b) Compute the diluted earnings per share for 2010. (Round to the nearest penny.)

Explanation / Answer

60,000 x $25 = $1,500,000

$1,500,000 /$30 =50,000 shares purchased

60,000 exercised – 50,000 in treasury = net 10,000 shares impact on denominator

Index = $0

Convertible Pfd = 80,000 divided by 200,000 = $0.40 index


Convertible Bonds = $2,000,000 * 8% * (1 – 60%) = 96,000

= 96,000 / 120,000 shares = $0.80 index

(a)     Basic earnings per share=       ( $2,100,000 – $80,000 )/1,300,000 =$1.55

b. Basic earnings per share

=     ( 2,100,000 +96,0000)/ (1,300,000 + 10,000 + 200,000 +120,000)=$1.35
