a) Number of shares used for calculating:
We need to calculate weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year
769,000 outstanding for whole year = 769,000*12/12 = 769,000
580,000 shares issued on April 1 outstanding for 9 months = 580,000*9/12 = 435,000
Number of Shares for BEPS = 1,204,000
Diluted Earnings per Share:
Basic = 1,204,000
Convertible Bonds = 600,000*40/1000 = 24,000
Shares for Diluted = 1,228,000
b)
BEPS : Earning figure to be used will be after tax profits of $1,577,000
BEPS= 1577000/1204000 = 1.31
DEPS :
Income after Tax = 1577000
Interest Saved on Bonds (net of tax) = 600,000*8% (1-0.6) = 28,800
Income figure to be used for DEPS = $1605,800
