Calculate Diluted EPS.<br/>- Net Income: $500,000<br/>- Weighted Avg Common Shares: 100,000<br/>- 10,000 Options outstanding, exercise price $20. Average market price $25.<br/>- Convertible Bonds: 1,000 bonds, convertible into 20 shares each. Interest expense saved (net of tax) = $30,000.

Answer options:

A.

$4.33

B.

$4.80

C.

$4.34

D.

$5.00

How to approach this question

1. Calculate Basic EPS. 2. Test Options (Treasury Stock Method). 3. Test Bonds (If-Converted Method). 4. Combine if dilutive.

Full Answer

C.$4.34✓ Correct
Options add 2,000 net shares. Bonds add 20,000 shares and $30,000 income. New EPS = $530k / 122k = $4.34. Since $4.34 < $5.00, both are dilutive.

Common mistakes

Forgetting to add back interest; miscalculating treasury stock shares.
