    Basic EPS = $1.359 million

    Diluted EPS = $1.195 million

    Explanation:

    For Basic EPS we need to calculate the number of shares outstanding

    Shares as on Jan 1 = 450 million

    Treasury shares on Sep 1 = 48 million * (4 months : 12 months)

    = 16 million

    Number of shares o/s = Shares as on Jan 1 - Treasury shares on Sep 1

    = 450 million - 16 million

    = 434 million

    Basic EPS = Net Income : Number of shares o/s

    = $590 million : 434 million

    = $1.359 million

    For Diluted EPS,

    Interest savings = 10% * $ 250 million

    = $25 million

    Adjusted Net Income = Net Income + After tax interest savings

    = $590 million + [25 millions - 40 (25million) ]

    = $590 million - $15 million

    = $575 million

    and weighted number of shares will include the bonds, that are convertible

    Outstanding shares as computed = 434 million

    Bond conversion Shares = 47 million

    Total shares outstanding = Outstanding shares as computed + Bond conversion Shares

    = 434 million + 47 million

    = 481 million

    Diluted EPS = Adjusted Net income : Total shares outstanding

    = $575 million : 481 million

    = $1.195 million
