Expert Solution

2. Christina Corporation is said to have a simple capital Structure because the Capital Structure of the Corporation does not contain potentially dilute Securities. Examples of Potential Dilute Securities are Convertible Debt, Stock Options, Stock Warrants, etc.

3. Presentation of Earnings per Share for a Corporation with Complex Capital Structure

For Corporation having Complex Capital Structure, weighted average no. of shares outstanding and Earnings per Shares are calculated in two ways.

1. Basic EPS:

Basic earnings per share (EPS) tells investors how much of a firm's net income was allotted to each share of common stock.

Basic EPS = Net Income/Weighted average no. of shares outstanding

2. Diluted EPS:

Diluted EPS is a company's earnings per share (EPS) if all convertible securities were exercised.
