Question

On January 1, 2014, Lennon Industries had stock outstanding as follows. To acquire the net assets of three smaller companies, Lennon authorized the issuance of an additional 256,800 common shares. The acquisitions took place as shown below. On May 14, 2014, Lennon realized a 5140,400 (before taxes) insurance gain on the expropriation of investments originally purchased in 2000. On December 31, 2014, Lennon recorded net income of $378,000 before tax and exclusive of the gain. Assuming a 50% tax rate, compute the earnings per share data that should appear on the financial statements of Lennon Industries as of December 31, 2014. Assume that the expropriation is extraordinary. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)

Explanation / Answer

Total earnings would be = 378,000 + 140,400

= 518,400

Tax rate = 50%

Income after tax = 259,200

Total number of common shares = 238,800 + 256,800

= 495,600

Earning per share = net income/ total number of common share outstanding

= 259,200/495,600

= $ 0.52

Expropriation would be taken into account, because the earning per share is calculated on total income not on operating income.
