    Answer explained below

    Explanation:

    GIVEN:

    options issued = 1000

    exercise per share = $6

    market price = $20

    net income = $50000

    a) Diluted earnings per share

    = (Total income - preference dividends) / (outstanding shares + diluted shares)

    Amount paid towards shares = Options issued * Exercise price per share = 1,000 * 6 = $ 6,000

    Value of options = Amount paid towards shares / Current market price = $ 6,000 / $ 20 = 300

    Diluted shares = Options issued - value of options = 1000 - 300 = 700

    So Diluted Earnings per share = (50,000) / (10,000 + 700) = $ 4.67 per share.

    b) Calculation of diluted shares 700 (same as above)

    Weighted average for the period holding i. e, 3 months = 700 * 3/12 = 175 shares increased during the period.

    Diluted EPS = 50,000 / (10,000 + 175) = $ 4.91 per share
