b. The earnings figures to be used for calculating:_________

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 1. Basic Earning Per Share = 1,100,000

2. Diluted Earning Per Share = 1,112,000

b. 1. Basic Earning Per Share = $1,540,000

2. Diluted Earning Per Share = $1,559,200

Explanation:

1. The computation of the number of shares to be used for calculating is shown below:-

For Basic Earning Per Share

Date                         Shares        Weight          Weighted Shares

Jan 1 2020

to April 1, 2020        761,000    3 ÷ 12              190,250

Apr 1, 2020 to

Dec 31, 2020           1,200,000      9 ÷ 12            900,000

Total                                                                   1,090,250

For Diluted Earning Per Share

Dates                         Shares        Weight          Weighted Shares

Jan 1, 2020 to

April 1, 2020            761,000        3 ÷ 12             190,250

Apr 1, 2020 to

July 1, 2020             1,200,000        3 ÷ 12           300,000

July 1, 2020 to

Dec 31, 2020          1,224,000         6 ÷ 12          612,000

Total                                                                   1,112,000

Convertible bond into shares

= $600000 ÷ $1,000 × 40 shares

= 24,000

b. The computation of earnings figures to be used for calculating is shown below:-

Basic Earning Per Share = Net Income = $1,540,000

Diluted Earning Per Share

= Net Income + Interest Saving - Additional Tax

where,

Interest Saving = $600,000 × 8% × 1 ÷ 2 years

= $24,000

Additional Tax = $24,000 × 20%

= $4,800

Adjusted Net Income = $1,540,000 + $24,000 - $4,800

= $1,559,200
