What will Smith report as its diluted earnings per share for the
year ended 12-31-15?
Formula to calculate diluted earnings per share for the year ended `12-31-15 = (net income- preference dividends) / (common shares outstanding+unexercised employee stock option+convertible preference stock+convertible bond+warrants)
given, common shares outstanding = 200000
net income = 880000
outstanding employee stock options = 15000
convertible debt can be converted into 250000 shares of common stock
applying this to formula: diluted EPS = 880000-0/(200000+15000+250000)
=880000/465000 = 1.89 per share.
