Preference dividend ( 5 months ) = 230000*(100)*(6%)(5/12) = 575000
Interest on Bonds = 23000 * (1000) * (11%) = 2530000
EPS=
(Net income – preference dividend ) / Average outstanding shares
Net income =33000000
Basic Eps = (33000000-575000) / 14000000
= 2.3160
= 2.31
Diluted EPS=
Net
income after giving effect to diluted share / (Average outstanding
shares + Diluted
shares)
Net income after giving effect to diluted shares
=net income- Prefrence Dividend + interest on bonds payable – (40% on interest on bonds payable)
= 33000000-575000+2530000- (40% of (2530000)
=34955000-1012000
= 33943000
Diluted shares = no of bonds issued * (50)
= 23000 * 50
= 1150000 shares
Outstanding shares = 14000000 Shares
Total no of shares for calculating diluted eps = 14000000+1150000
= 15150000
Diluted eps = 33943000 / 15150000
= 2.24046
= 2.23 approx
