On December 31, 2011, JME Corporation had 350,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On September 1, 2012, an additional 150,000 shares of common stock were issued. In addition, JME had $10 million of 8% convertible bonds outstanding at December 31, 2011, which are convertible into 200,000 shares of common stock. Net income for 2012 was $3 million. Assuming an income tax rate of 40%, what amount should be reported as the diluted earnings per share for 2012?
Diluted Earnings Per Share for 2012 = $5.80 per share
Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Net Profit / Adjusted outstanding number of shares
Adjusted Net Profit = Net Income + After Tax Interest on Convertible Bonds
= $30,00,000 + ( $1,00,00,000 x 8% x 0.60)
= $30,00,000 + $4,80,000
= $34,80,000
Adjusted outstanding number of shares = Shares outstanding + Additional Shares Issued + number convertible bonds
= 3,50,000 Shares + (1,50,000 x 4/12) + 2,00,000 Shares
= 6,00,000 Shares
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $34,80,000 / 6,00,000 Shares
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $5.80 per share
“ $5.80 per share should be reported as the diluted earnings per share for 2012 “
