For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, a company reported Net Income of $7,000,000. The Dillie company had 3,000,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding all year. In addition, the company had $500,000 par value of 10% cumulative, non-convertible preferred stock outstanding all year. In December 2019, the company declared and paid a preferred dividend of $50,000, as well as a $0.10 per share dividend to common shareholders. Furthermore, on January 1, 2019 the company issued at face value a $1,000,000, 6% convertible bond with annual interest payments due at the end of each year. The bonds are convertible into 200,000 shares of the company’s $1 par value common stock. The company’s tax rate is 21% (and there are no temporary or permanent book-tax differences). What did the company report for diluted earnings per share on its December 31, 2019 Income Statement?
Solution:
For Calculation of Diluted earnings per share we have to adjust the earnings.
So Earnings for DPS is as follows
Net Income | $ 70,00,000 |
Less: Preference Dividend | $ 50,000 |
Earnings for common shareholders | $ 69,50,000 |
Add: Post tax interest on Convertible Bond ($10,00,000 * 6% * (1-0.21) | $ 47,400 |
Earnings for Diluted per share | $ 69,97,400 |
No. of Common shares outstanding = 30,00,000
Add: Shares from conversion of bonds = 2,00,000
Total Shares outstanding = 32,00,000
Therefore,
DPS = Earnings / Total shares outstanding
= 69,97,400 / 32,00,000
=2.186 i.e 2.19 per share.
