Explanation / Answer
Basic EPS= net income/ Wt avg shares outstanding
Net income = $600 million; Preferred
dividends = $36 million (9% x $100 = $9/share x 4 million; since
the preferred stock is cumulative, the dividend is deducted whether
or not paid)
Denominator (Basic EPS): Weighted average # shares of common
stock outstanding
1/1 – 12/31 =380*(12/12)*1.05 =399
3/1 12/31 =(96) x (10/12)*1.05 = (84)
10/1 – 12/31 =4 x (3/12) = 1
Weighted average # shares 316
Basic EPS = ($600 - $36) ÷ 316 = $1.78
check if they dilutive?
Yes because the exercise price of $56/share < the market price of $70/share.
Use the Treasury Stock Method
The Treasury Stock Method assumes that the proceeds received upon exercise of $1,680 (30 million x $56) are used to buy back stock at the average market price, i.e., $1,680 ÷ $70 = 24
3. The net increase in the number of shares = 6 mill
Basic EPS = ($600 - $36) ÷ (316+6) = $1.75
