    Basic EPS is computed on the number of shares outstanding (that is, actually issued) at the time. Diluted EPS is based on the number of shares that theoretically could exist by computing the shares a business would have generated if all stock options, warrants, convertibles, and other potential sources of dilution that were currently exercisable were invoked.

    In your example there are currently 800 million shares - this is used to compute basic. To look at the theoretical shares, add all the possibilities to this number - e.g. the 30 mill in convertible bonds, the 50 mill in conv pref shares, and the options.

    Comment on Just Looking's post
    OK, just to verify: basic EPS= 1600/800= $2 and diluted EPS= 1600+32.5/800+25+18.75+30+20= $1.86.
    I excluded 20 million 6% convertible preferred stock, $50 par value since is antidillutive , correct?
