Answer 1

Answer:

  1.   weighted average number of outstanding common share

As at Jan                                      24,000

New issues :

May 1         3000*8/12                   2000

Sep 30    2000*3/12                        500

                                                 26,500

2.  Basic Earnings per share for 2016 = Net income - Preferred dividend / weighted average number of outstanding shares

                                                       =  ($72,500 - 10,625)/26,500

                                                      = $2.33

Preferred stock dividend  =  8.5%*2,500 *$50  =  $10,625

3. Diluted Earning per share  for 2016 =( Net income + after tax income saved )/ weighted average number of outstanding common stock

   Dilluted EPS  =   $82,125/39000 = $2.11

Incremental EPS :

Bond =              $9,625/5000  = $1.93

Preferred stock  =  $10,625/7500 =  $1.42

Workings

Earnings

Net Income  =                                    $72,500

After tax saved income:

Bond(100-30%)*250,000*5.5%      =   9,625

                                                              82,125

Number of common stock from conversion

Preferred stock  = 2500*3 = 7,500

Bond  = ($250,000/$1,000)* 20 = 5,000

weighted average number of share outstanding  =   26,500+ 7500+5000

                                                                                 =  39,000

4a. Basi Eraning per share  = ( $72,500 + 18,000)/ 26,500

                                             =   $3.42

b. Basic EPS based on

Income form continuing operation   =  $90,500/26,500 =  $3.42

Loss from discointinued operation =  -$18,000/26,500  = -$0.68

Net Income                                      =   $72,500/26500   =   $2.74

                       =
