No common shares were issued during the year, but on January 1 Ahnberg issued 100,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. The preferred shares are convertible into 200,000 shares of common stock. During the year Ahnberg paid $60,000 cash dividends on the preferred stock. Net income was $1,500,000. What were Ahnberg's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ahnberg's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year is $1.8 and $1.44 respectively

Explanation:

A) Earning per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (Number of shares)

= ($1,500,000 - $60,000) ÷ (800,000 shares)

= ($1,440,000) ÷ (800,000 shares)

= $1.8 per share

B) Diluted Earning per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (Number of shares + diluted shares)

= ($1,500,000 - $60,000) ÷ (800,000 shares + 200,000 shares)

= ($1,440,000) ÷ (1,000,000 shares)

= $1.44 per share
