Twenty eight million shares of 5%, $100 par value cumulative, nonconvertible preferred stock were sold on January 2, 2013. On April 30, 2013, Ainsworth purchased 50 million shares of its common stock as treasury stock. Twenty million treasury shares were sold on August 31. Ainsworth issued a 4% common stock dividend on June 12, 2013. No cash dividends were declared in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Ainsworth reported a net loss of $180 million, including an after-tax extraordinary loss of $480 million from a litigation settlement.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:

Total stock outstanding = 720 million* 12/12 = 750 million

Less: shares sold = 28 million (weighted portion = 28*12/12 = 28 million)

add:Purchases common stock = 50 million (weighted portion = 50*8/12 =33.33 million)

Total share as on June 12, 2013 = 772 million

4% common stock dividend = 30.88 million (assumed to be from beginning being stock dividend)

Less: Shares sold = 20 million (weighted portion = 20*8/12= 13.33)

Total outstanding shares as on December 2013 = 782.88

Total weighted average shares = =750-28+33.33-13.33 = 742 million shares

Net loss per share = $180 million/ 742million = (0.24) per share

Answer 2:

Net loss/ Income per share:

Net loss = $180 million

Extraordinary loss = $480 million

Income from continuing operations = $ 480 million - $180 million = $300 million

Income per share = $300 million/742million = 0.40 per share

Answer 3:

2013 2012 earning (loss) per common share -$0.24 $0.72 income (loss) from operation before extraordionary items $0.40 $0.00 extraordinary loss (gain) from litigation seetlment -$0.64 $0.00 net income (loss) $0.40 $0.72
