a) 1.6

b) 1.55

Explanation:

a) Basic EPS

Basic EPS is calculated wth the following formula,

= ( Net Income - Preferred Shares)/Weighted Average No. Of Equity (WAES)

Solving for the Variables we have,

Net Income = $1,200,000

Preferred Shares = (4,000,000 * 6%) = $2,400,000

Weighted Average No of Equity shares( common)

= 6,000,000 shares/ $10 par value

= 600,000 shares.

Plugging the figures in we have,

= (1,200,000 - 240,000)/600,000

= 1.6

1.6 is the Basic EPS for 2021

b) Diluted EPS

The formula for Diluted EPS is,

= (( Net Income - Preferred Dividend) + Post Tax Interest ) / WAES + Potentially dilutive common shares

Post Tax Interest is interest net of tax which is,

= 2,000,000 * 7% * ( 1 - 0.4)

= $84,000

Potentially dilutive Common shares consists of the Common stock options and the convertible bonds.

Incremental Shares from options = ((Market Price - Option Price)/Market Price ) * No. Of options.

=( (25 - 20) / 25) * 75,000

= 1/5 * 75,000

= 15,000 shares

Convertible Bonds to shares would be,

= 2,000,000/ 1,000

= 2,000 bonds * 30 per share

= 60,000 shares

Preferred shares are stated to be convertible but are already accounted for in the formula. Converting them again would be Anti-dilutive.

Computing with the calculated figures we have,

= (1,200,000 - 240,000 + 84,000) / 600,000 + 15,000 + 60,000

= 1,044,000/675,000

= 1.546

= 1.55

1.55 is the diluted EPS.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
