Common Shares Outstanding as of 1/1/2014 ils 100,000 shares On October 1, 2015 the company issued 10,000 shares of common stock to the public On June 5, 2014 the company declared a 5 percent stock dividend. Additionally, the Corporation has $500 000 of 6% $100 par convertible Preferred Stock. Each Preferred Stock is converted into 6 shares of common stock. Net Income for 2014 was $150,000.

Explanation / Answer

1. Calculation of Basic EPS

Basic EPS = (Net Income - Preferred Stock) / Weighted Average number of stock outstanding

Net Income = $150,000

Preferred Dividend = 500,000 x 6% = 30,000

Outstanding Stock in 2014 = (10,000 / 12 x 12) + (100,000 x 5%) + (10,000 x 3 / 12)

= 17,500 shares

Basic EPS for 2014 = $150,000 - 30,000 / 17,500 = $6.857 per share

2. Calculation of DIluted EPS.

Diluuted EPS = Revised Net income / Weighted average number of shares

Revised net income = 150,000 (Since it is not net of preferred dividend stock)

Weighted average shares:

Type

Number of shares

Weighted Average

Common stock on 01/01/2014

10,000

10,000 x 12 /12 = 10,000

Convertible preferred

500,000 / 100 x 6 shares = 30,000 shares

30,000 x 12 / 12 = 30,000

Stock Dividend

40,000 shares x 5%

2,000

Issuance of common stock

10,000

10,000 x 3 /12 = 2,500
