$4 par value common stock and 70,000 shares of 8%, $100 par, preferred stock outstanding

(a) The number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share.

(b) The number of shares to be used in computing diluted EPS.

Expert Solution

1.)

The number of shares to be used in computing basic price per share is 500000. Because for basic earning per share no. of share will be common shares outstanding all over the year.

 

2.)

No. of shares to be used in computing diluted price;

Diluted earning per share= Common shares+ (Preference shares+ Equivalent common shares)

= 500000+ (700000+ (70000* 2))

= 500000+ 140000

= 640000

 

3.)

Basic earning per share= Net income/ Common shares

= 7800000/ 500000

= 15.60
