Question

Assume that the following data relative to Metro Co. for 20x1 is available: Net Income (30% tax rate): $3,200,000 Transactions in common shares 1/ Beginning number 3/1 Purchase of treasury shares (60,000) 6/1 Stock split, 2 for 1 11/1 Issuance of shares 1,000,000 shares 120,000 9% cumulative convertible preferred stock Sold (in 20x0) at par, convertible into 200,000 shares of common $1,000,000 Stock options Exercisable at the option price of S25 per share Average market price in 20x1 is S30. 60,000 shares Compute the basic and diluted EPS for 20x1.

Explanation / Answer

Basic EPS = Earnings available for Equity Shareholders/Weighted Average Number of Equity Shares outstanding during the year

=2150,000/1518,333 = $1.416

Diluted EPS = 2240,000/(2000,000+200,000+60,000)

= 2240,000/2260,000 = $0.991

Earnings for Equity:

Net Income = 3200,000

Less Income Tax @ 30% = 960,000

Income After Tax = 2240,000

Less: Preference Dividend 90,000

Income for Equity = 2150,000

Computation of Weighted Average Number of Equity Shares:

1/1 Beginning Number 1000,000 *12/12 = 1000,000

Shares bought back 60,000*10/12 (50,000)

Stock Split 940,000*7/12 = 548,333

Issuance of Shares 120,000*2/12 = 20,000

Weighted Average Number of Equity Shares = 1518,333
