First we calculate Basic Earning per Share:

Earning per Share = (Net Income - Preferred Dividends)/Number of Common Shares Outstanding

= ($600,000-($1,000,000*10%))/100,000

= ($600,000-$100,000)/100,000

= $500,000/100,000

Earning per Share = $5

 

Note: Here We have assumed Number of Common Shares Outstanding are 100,000.

 

Earnings per Share if the raise the $1,000,000 by issuing 10,000 share of 10% $100 par value convertible preferred stock, where shares can be coverted into 10 shares of Peyton common stock:

 

Number of Existing Common Shares = 100,000

Additional Common Shares (10,000 preference shares*10 common shares) = 100,000

Total Common Shares after Conversion = 200,000

 

Earning per Share if Preferred Shares Converted (Diluted EPS) = $600,000/200,000 = $3 per share
