Expert Solution

Part 1

Ainsworth's net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 = $0.38

Numerator (Basic EPS): Net loss = $165 million; Preferred dividends = $150 [(6% x $100) x 25 million)

Denominator (Basic EPS): Weighted average # shares of common stock

outstanding

1/1 – 12/31 800 x (12/12) = 800* 1.05 =840

4/30 – 12/31 (30) x (8/12) = (20) *1.05 = (21)

8/31 – 12/31 12 x (4/12) = 4

Weighted average # shares = 823

Basic EPS = (-$165 - $150) ÷ 823= $(0.38)

Part 2

per share amount of income or loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 = $0.16

Income from continuing operations (450-165)=285

Extraordinary loss, net of tax = (450)

Net loss = $(165)

EPS for continuing operations = ($285-$150) ÷ 823 = $0.16

Part 3

The 5% stock dividend issued on June 12, 2018 must be retroactively applied to 1/1/17

Weighted average # shares for 2017: 800 x 1.05 = 840

2017 EPS = $520 ÷ 840 = $0.62

2018 EPS from Extraordinary loss = $(450) ÷ 823 = $(0.55)

	2018	2017
EPS from continuing operations	0.16	0.62
Extraordinary loss, net of tax	(0.55)	0
EPS	(0.39)	0.62
