Explanation / Answer

Part A

Numerator (Basic EPS): Net income = $560 million; Preferred dividends

= $0.

Denominator (Basic EPS): Weighted average shares common stock

outstanding

1/1 – 12/31 = 550 million x (12/12) = 550

9/1 – 12/31= (120) million x (4/12) = (40)

Weighted average shares = 510

Basic EPS = $560 ÷ 510 = $1.10

Interest not paid, net of tax = $36 million [(10% x $600 million) x 60%].

Additional shares on conversion = 72 million

Diluted EPS = (560+36)/(510+72) = 1.02

Therefore,

Basic EPS = $1.10

Diluted EPS = $1.02

Part B

Basis EPS = (net income - preferred dividend) / Weighted average shares = (750000-(15000*3))/(412000+40000) = 1.76

Shares are not dilutive.

Therefore,

Basic EPS and Diluted EPS will be same.
