Question 1
Basic earnings per share:
Period Shares outstanding Stock split fraction of year WANOS
Jan1 to Jul 31 46,000 1.2 7/12 32,200
Aug 1 to Aug 31 51,000 1.2 1/12 5,100
Sep 1 to Oct 31 61,200 2/12 10,200
Nov1 to Dec31 58,200 2/12 9,700
WANOS 57,200
Dilution test
$6 Convertible preference shares
Increase in earnings = 6,000 x $6 x 6/12= $18,000
Increase in shares = 6,000 x 3 x 1.2 x 6/12 = 10,800
Incremental EPS = $24,000 / 10,800 = 1.667 (less than Basic EPS ==> dilutive)
Stock options: Average market price $36 > Exercise price $ 30 (dilutive)
Rank for dilution (from the most dilutive to the least dilutive)
1. Stock options
2. $6 Convertible preference shares
Convertible bonds
Contribution per share = ($5,000,000 7% .75) ÷ (5,000 100) = $262,500 ÷ 500,000 = $0.525
Contribution is less than the $0.53 basic EPS Dilutive.
3. Diluted EPS
Earnings WANOS EPS
Basic EPS $5,300,000 10,000,000 $0.530
Stock options
No. of shares assumed issued(3m x 6/12) 1,500,000
Less: No. of shares assumed to be repurchased
($3m x $15/ $18 x 6/12) (1,250,000)
No. of new shares to be issued 250,000 250,000
$5,300,000 10,250,000 $0.517
*It is NOT necessary to continue the computation beyond the stock option, since the EPS at
this point ($0.517) is less than the incremental EPS impact of the convertible bond ($0.525).
