QUESTION:
Calculate the diluted earnings per share.
(Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.
15.25.)
Diluted earnings per share | $______ |
Value of options in shares = [options issued*exercise price per share ]/current share price
= [51000 * 10 ] /15
= 510000/15
= 34000 shares
Diluted shares= options issued-Value of options in shares
=51000 -34000
= 17000 shares
Diluted earning per share = Net income /[current shares outstanding +diluted shares]
= 234910 / [152000+17000]
= 234910 /169000
= $ 1.39 per share
