- Diluted EPS = (Net Income + After-Tax Cost of Interest)/(Common Shares Outstanding +Additional Shares Against Exercise of Convertible Securities)
where, Net Income = $1650,000
After-Tax cost of Interest = $1000 per Bond*8%*200 bonds*(1-0.30) = $11,200
Common Shares Outstanding = 500,000
Additional Shares Against Exercise of Convertible Securities = 150 shares per Bond*200 convetible bonds = 30,000
Diluted EPS = ($1650,000 + $11200)/(500,000 + 30,000)
Diluted EPS = $1661,200/530,000
Diluted EPS = $3.134
