Explanation / Answer

Basic EPS = Earnings available to Equity Share holders/ No of Equity share holders

calculation of Earnings available to Eq share eholder

Net income = $28,50,000

Less Tax@40%=$11,40,500

Earnings After Tax=$17,10,000

Preference dividend= $2,52,000(45000*80*7%) consider dividend distribution tax Zero otherwise Net of dividend.

Earnings to Equity Shareholders=$14,58,000

EPS =1458000/831000=1.75

Diluted EPS:

= {1458000+Bonds interest (net of tax)}/ No of stock after convertion

= (1458000+80000*0.6)/ (831000+800*40)

=1.74

or

Weighted average number of shares

company issue share option to managers(right option)

theriotical Ex right factior= Current Market Price/ Right factors

Right factor= (fair value of the shares before right issue+sale proceeds from right issue)/Toal no stock

= (40 x 8310000+22000*36)/ (831000+22000)

=39.89

Theritical Ex right factor=40/39.89=1.0025

weighted average no of shares= 831000 x

B) Diluted EPS
