Answer :
1) Basic earnings per share = $5.6126
2) Diluted earnings per share = $5.3992
Explanation :
1) calculation of basic earinings per share :
Step 1 : Calculation of total weighted average number of shares
Details | number of shares |
Weighted average number of shares on jan 2 (25M × 12/12) | 25M |
Weighted average number of shares issued on march 31 (4M × 9/12) |
0.3M |
Total weighted average number of shares | 25.3M |
Step 2 : basic earnings per share
Earnings per share = (net income - preference dividends)÷ weighted average number of shares
= ($142 M - 0) ÷ 25.3 M
= $5.6126
2) calculation of diluted earnings.per share :
Step 1 : calculation of total weighted average number of shares
Details | number of shares |
Weighted average number of shares on jan 2 (25M × 12/12) | 25M |
Weighted average number of shares issued on march 31 (4M × 9/12) |
0.3M |
Number of new shares due to an agreement | 1 M |
Total weighted average number of shares | 26.3M |
Step 2 : calculation of diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ weighted average number of common shares outstanding
= ($142M -$0) ÷ 26.3M
= $5.3992
