Instructions: Be certain to show your computations.
a. Determine the primary earnings per share for 2018.
b. Determine diluted earnings per share (if appropriate).
(a) -- Determine the primary earnings per share for 2018.
Answer -
Calculation of primary earnings per share
Particulars | Explanation | ||
I. | Net income | Given in question | $900000 |
II. | Shares of common stock outstanding | Given in question | 400000 shares |
Primary earnings per share | I / II | $2.25 | |
.
(b) -- Determine diluted earnings per share.
Answer -
= (Net income + Interest after taxes) / Shares outstanding adjusted for Dilutive Securities
= [$900000 + ($5000000 * 9%) - 30% tax] / (Shares of common stock outstanding + Conversion of dilutive securities)
= $1215000 / [400000 shares + (5000 bonds * 20 shares)]
= $1215000 / 500000 shares
= $2.43
The bonds are antidilutive, because earnings per share assuming bond conversion is $2.43, which is more than the primary earnings per share of $2.25.
Hence, Diluted earnings per share = $0, and earnings per common share outstanding of $2.25 should be reported.
