Explanation / Answer

Basic EPS:

  Earning Per Share = (net income-preferred dividends)/weighted average common shares outstanding

               = [$180,905 - (7% x $50 x 30,000)]/[100,000 - (24,000 x 10/12) +   (6,000 x 3/12)]

             =$.93

  Basic EPS (Earning Per Share) of Jackson for 2009 =$.93

Diluted EPS

    Diluted Earning per share = (Total income –Preferred dividends)/(outstanding shares + diluted shares)

                          =[$180,905 - (7% x $50 x 30,000)]/[100,000 - (24,000 x 10/12) + (6,000 x 3/12) +(50,000 - 40,000*)]

                        = 75,905/91,500

                        = $.83

* (50,000 x $40)/$50 = 40,000.

   Basic Diluted EPS (Earning Per Share) of Jackson for 2009 = $.83
