Question

The Simon Corporation issued 10-year, $5,780,000 par, 7% callable convertible subordinated debentures on January 2, 2014. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, with interest payable annually. The current conversion ratio is 15:1, and in 2 years it will increase to 20:1. At the date of issue, the bonds were sold at 97. Bond discount is amortized on a straightline basis. Simon's effective tax was 37%. Net income in 2014 was $7,635,000, and the company had 2,455,000 shares outstanding during the entire year. Compute both basic and diluted earnings per share. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)

Explanation / Answer

Basic earnings per share:

   Net Income: 7,635,000

   Number of shares outstanding : 2,455,000

   Basic EPS : 7,635,000/2,455,000   =   3.11

Dialuted earnings per share:

Net income    :         7,635,000

Interest on callable bonds (57,80,000* 7 %)   404,600

Tax saving on interest 404,600 *.35 = 141,610

After tax increse in interest income (404,600 -141,610)     262,990

Tax saving on amortisation (17,340 *.37)                             (6,416)

Net income including after tax bond interest                       7,891,574

Number of shares   outstanding:         2,455,000

Convertable bond (5,780,000/1000*15 )           86,700

Total number of shares                                 2,541,700

Dialuted EPS   (7,891,574/2,541,700)    3.10
