    Earnings per share
    Hello, I'd really appreciate any help. Even though I did exercises and understand the basics, I'm not able to solve these two problems. Thank you in advance.

    Question 1
    Partial answer: to part b is $0.76/share
    a) calculate basic eps for 2011
    b) calculate diluted eps for 2011, ignoring the debt/equity requirement.

    December 31,2011
    L/T debt
    Notes payable, 10 % $ 2 000 000
    4 % convertible bonds payable $ 3 000 000
    6 % convertible bonds payable $ 4 000 000
    Total l/t debt $ 9 000 000
    Shareholder's equity
    0.8 cumulative, non par value, convertible preferred
    unlimited authorized, 280 000 issued and outstanding $ 4 000 000
    Common shares, 1 800 000 issued and authorized $ 18 000 000
    Contributed surplus $ 100 000
    R/E $ 5 000 000
    Total Shareholder's equity $ 27 100 000
    Notes and Assumptions
    Options were granted/written in 2010 that give the holder the right to purchase 50 000 common shares at $12. The av. Market price of the shares during 2011 is $18. No options exercised in 2011.
    The 4% bonds were issued in 2010 at face value. The 6% bonds were issued on July 1, 2011 at face value. Each bond is convertible into 80 common shares. (each has a face value of 1 000)
    The convertible preferred shares were issued at the beginning of 2011. Each share of preferred is convertible in one common.
    The average income tax rate is 42%
    The common share were outstanding during the entire year
    Preferred dividends not declared in 2011
    Net income is 1 750 000 for 2011
    No bonds or preferred shares were converted in 2011.

    Question 2
    Partial answer: basic eps $ 2.73/share, diluted eps $ 2.58/share
    a. based on the info, do you agree with the calculation of eps for the year? If not, revise.
    b. Assume the call options had been issued for 140 000 common shares at $10. They were outstanding at the beginning of the year and none had been exercised or cancelled during the year. The av. Market price of the common share were $20 and the ending market price $ 25. Prepare calculation for eps.

    Info:
    Net income $ 3 374 960
    Common shares issued and outstanding
    Beg. Of year 1 285 000
    End of year 1 200 000
    Average 1 242 000
    EPS: 3 374 960/ 1 242 000 = $2.72/share

    The only equity securities are the common shares
    There are no options or warrants outstanding to purchase common shares
    There are no convertible debt securities
    Activity in common shares during the year are:
    Outstanding, jan 1 1 285 000
    Acquired, oct 1 (250 000)
    Issued, dec 1 165 000
    Outstanding, dec 31 1 200 000
