Answer:
a) Computation of EPS for 2020:
Basic EPS = (Earning available for equity shareholders / Weighted average common share outstanding)
= $1,889,000 / 242,000
= 7.81 Per share.
Note-1
Earning available for equity shareholders=( Net Income - Dividend on preferred stock)
= ($1,955,000 - $66,000)
= $1,889,000
Note-2 Assume Net Income provided above is after tax.
b) Computation of diluted EPS for 2020:
Basic EPS = (Earning available for equity shareholders / Weighted average common share outstanding)
= $2,087,000/ 352,000
= 593 Per-share.
Earning available for equity shareholders:
| Particulars | Amount | 
| Net Income after dividend | $1889000 | 
| Add: Interest on the debt (2,200,000x 8%) (1-25%) | $132,000 | 
| Add: Preference Dividend | $66,000 | 
| Total | $2,087,000 |
