Diluted Earnings Per Share 20p

Explanation / Answer

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding = 330,000 + (190,000*3/12)

= 330,000 + 47,500

= 377,500

Earnings per share = Net income / Weighted average number of common shares outstanding

= 1,100,000 / 377,500

= 2.91

----------------

Interest savings = 200,000 * 6% = 12,000

Number of shares = 377,500 + (200,000/1,000*30) = 377,500 + 6,000 = 383,500

Diluted earnings per share = (1,100,000+12,000) / 383,500

= 2.90
