. Compute basic earnings per share.
Compute diluted earnings per share
a) Basic EPS =Net income /Number of common stock outstanding
= 500000/ 100000
= $ 5 per share
b)Number of shares issued for bond conversion = 1200 *20 = 24000 shares
Total number of shares outstanding after conversion = 100000+24000 = 124000 shares
.Interest on bond = 1,200,000*.04 = 48000
After tax interest = 48000 (1-.20) = 38400
Dilutive EPS = [net income+ after tax interest saved if conversion takes place]/Total number of shares outstanding after conversion
= [500000+38400]/124000
= 538400/124000
= $ 4.34 per share
