Instructions

(a) Prepare a schedule to compute both basic and diluted earnings per share.

(b) Discuss how the schedule would differ if the security was convertible preferred stock

Step by step solution

01

Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings per share-

Net Income for year (A)	$9,500,000
Add: Adjustment for interest (net of tax)	$234,000
Income for diluted earnings per share (B)	$9,734,000
Number of shares for Basic EPS (C)	2,000,000
Add: Shares by conversion (($5,000,000/$1,000) x 18))	90,000
Number of shares for Diluted EPS (D)	2,090,000
Basic Earnings Per share (A / C)	$4.75
Diluted Earnings Per share (B / D)	$4.66

Calculation of after tax interest:

Maturity Value	$5,000,000
Rate	7%
Cash Interest	$350,000
Discount amortization [(1.00-.98) *$5,000,000*1/10]	10,000
Interest expense	$360,000
Tax rate (1-35%)	0.65
After tax interest	$234,000

02

The schedule would differ if the security was convertible preferred stock-

b. On the off chance that the convertible securities were preferred stock, basic earnings per share would be a similar accepting there were no preferred dividends announced or the preferred was noncumulative. For diluted Earnings per share, the numerator would be the overall net income amount will be $9,500,000 and the denominator would be 2,090,000.
