# of outstanding common shares           10,000

# of convertible preferred shares          1,000

10% convertible bonds                         120,000

During 2018 United Airlines paid dividends of $3 per share on its preferred stock. The preferred shares are convertible into 2,000 shares of common stock, and the 10% bonds are convertible into 3,000 shares of common stock. Tax rate 30%.

3.36

If net income for 2018 is $29,200 United Airlines should report Diluted EPS as

2.43

2.9

2.75

2.5

Explanation / Answer

calculating no of shares outstanding = 10000+2000(preferred convertable)+3000(10%bonds convertable)

= 15,000 shares outstanding.

net income (adjusted) = $ 42,000 + 120000*10% (1-0.3) = 50400

diluted eps if net income is $42,000 = 50400/15000 = 3.36

diluted eps if netincome is $29200 = ((29200 + 120,000*10% (1-0.30) )) /15000shares = 2.50
