    The correct answer is option (B).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Convertible debt on 6% = $10,000

    Net income = $3,000

    Income tax rate = 30%

    Common stock outstanding = 1,000 shares

    Dilutive potential common stock = 1,000 Shares

    So, first we calculate after tax interest on convertible debt:

    = ($10,000 * 6%) - 30% of ($10,000 * 6%)

    = $600 - 180

    = $420

    So, we can calculate Ramos's diluted earnings per share by using following formula:

    Diluted earning per share = (Net income + after tax interest) : (Common stock outstanding + Dilutive potential common stock)

    = ($3,000 + $420) : ($1,000 + $1,000)

    = $3,420 : $2,000

    = $1.71

    Hence, Ramos's diluted earnings per share for 2018 would be $1.71.
