Explanation / Answer

1) Basic EPS = Profit attributable for ordinary shareholders – Preferred dividends / Weighted average no of Ordinary shares          Basic EPS = $825 000 / 300 000                            = $2.75 2) Diluted EPS = (Net income + after tax interest savings) / (weighted average no of ordinary shares) = $825 000 +$ 65 000 (2 000 000 * .05 * .65) / 300 000 + $30 000 (2 000 000/1000 * 15) + **$77 500 +$ 8000(32 000 / 12 *3) =$ 2.14 **Dilutive effect on exercisable qualified stock option = 125 000/50 * 19 = 47 500 = $125 000 –$ 47 500 = $77 500
