For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, calculate the following for Waterway Pharmaceutical Industries. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.45.)

(a) Basic earnings per share. Basic earnings per share $

(b) Diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share $

Answer 1

Solution:

a. Basic earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred dividend ) / Weighted avg. no. of shares of common stock outstanding

= ($1,530,000 - $0) / 1,020,000

= $1.50 (rounded off)

b. Diluted earnings per share = (Net income + After tax interest on convertible bonds) / ( Weighted avg. no. of shares outstanding + No. of diluted shares)

   = [$1,530,000 + $5,080,000×8%×(1-0.20) ] / [1,020,000 + 200,000×$15/$20 + $5,080,000×50/$1,000 ]

   = ($1,530,000 + $325,120) / [1,020,000 + 150,000 + 254,000]

   = $1,855,120 / 1,424,000

   = $1.30 (Rounded off)
