Answer:

$56,667

Explanation:

Diluted EPS is a measure used to assess the quality of a company's earnings per share (EPS). Diluted EPS takes into calculation all convertible securities such as convertible bonds or convertible preferred stock, which are changed into equity or common stock.

The stock options have a value of (10,000 × $10)/$12 = $8,333 on conversion.

To calculate the Diluted Earnings per share,

40,000 + (20,000 × 9/12) + (10,000 - 8,333) = $56,667.
