Answer 1

Part A

Event	Dates outstanding	Shares outstanding	restatement	Fraction of year	Weighted shares
Beginning Balance, including 5% stock dividend	Jan. 1–Apr. 1	2131500	2.0	3/12	1065750
Conversion of preferred stock	Apr. 1–July 1	2592660	2.0	3/12	1296330
Stock split	July 1–Aug. 1	5185320		1/12	432110
Issued shares for building	Aug. 1–Nov. 1	5484120		3/12	1371030
Purchase of Treasury stock	Nov. 1–Dec. 31	5458920		2/12	909820
Total number of common shares to compute basic earnings per share	5075040

2030000*1.05 = 2131500

(2131500+439200+(439200*5%)) = 2592660

2592660*2 = 5185320

5185320+298800 = 5484120

5484120-25200 = 5458920

Part 2

Number of shares to compute basic earnings per	5075040
Convertible preferred stock—still outstanding ((298800) X 2 X 1.05)	627480
Convertible preferred stock—converted (439200 X 2 X 1.05 X 3/12)	230580
Number of shares to compute diluted earnings per share	5933100

Part 3

After-tax net income		11840000
Preferred stock dividends
March 31 (753600 X $0.75)	565200
June 30, September 30, and December 31 (314400 X $0.75 X 3)	707400	(1272600)
Adjusted net income		$10567400

753600-439200 = 314400
