Answer 1

Answer :

(1)

Basic EPS or Simple EPS = NEt income earned - preferred dividend / weighted average number of shares outstanding

YR7 Net income $1,200,000

Common stock @10 par value $6,000,000

No.of shares = $6,000,000/10 = 600,000 shares

YR6 50000 shares in common stock at the end of year 6 = 550,000 shares

Basis EPS = $1200,000 - 0 / 550,000 = $2.18

(2). Marginal effect on each potential dilutive

Weighted average number of shares are outstanding as follows if bonds and preferred shares converted into equity

#		Bond or sl cost	Shares	No of Bonds
Current outstanding shares	5,50,000	-	-	-
8% Convertible bonds	80,000	1 1000	40	$2000,000/1000 = 2000
7% Covrtible bonds	22,500	1 1000	15	$1500,000/1000 = 1500
6% Convertible preferred stock	90,000	1 100	3	$3000,000/100 = 3000
Weighted average number of shares for dilutive securities	7,42,500	-	-	-

Calculation of interest on bonds

8% interest on convertible bonds of value $2,000,000 = $160,000	1,60,000	$160,000 x(1-40%)
7% Interest on convertible bonds of value $1500,000 = $105,000	1,05,000	$105,000 x (1-40%)
Total	2,65,000	-
Tax Rate is 40% what saved when interest expended	1,06,000	-
Total addition to the income	1,59,000	-

Marginal Effect when 8% convertible bonds are converted into common stock

Income increase by $160,000 x (1- 0.40) = $96,000

Number of common stock is increase by 80000

Diluted EPS = ($1200,000 + $96,000) / (550000 + 80000) = 2.05

Marginal effect when 7% convertible bonds are converted into common stock

Income increase by $105,000 x (1-0.40) = $63,000

Number of common stock is increase by 22500

Diluted EPS = ($1200,000 + $63,000)/(550000 + 22500) = $2.21

Marginal effect when preferred shares are converted to common stock

No effect on net income

Number of common stock is increase by 90000

Diluted EPS = ($1200,000) / (550000 + 90000) = $1.88

Status	Common stock	EPS	Me Effect
Common stock	550000	2.18	-
8% Bond converted	630000	$2.05	$0.13
7% Bond converted	652500	$2.21	-$0.03
Prefered converted	640000	$1.88	$0.30
