Roberto Lopez · Answer 1

Diluted EPS=$0.187 per share

Explanation:

Diluted EPS = Income available to ordinary shareholders / Total number of shares available after conversion

Total number of converted shares = 4,000 * 10 = 40,000 units

Total number o shares after conversion = 40,000 + 16,000,000 = 16,040,000 units

$

Net income = 4,000,000

Tax rate (25% * 4,000,000) (1,000000)

Net income 3,000,000

Diluted EPS = Net income / Number of shares

= 3,000,000/16,040,000=

=$0.187 per share

Diluted EPS=$0.187 per share
