Required:
Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016. (Enter your answers in thousands.)

Basic Earnings per Share =  $5.76 and

Diluted  Earnings per Share =  $4.11

Explanation:

Basic Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks

Calculation of Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock :

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016                     $780,000

Less Preference Shares dividends (28,800 × $5)                        ($144,000)

Less Interest on convertible bonds ( $1,000,000 × 10% × 60%)   ($60,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock                   $576,000

Calculation of Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks :

Common Stocks Outstanding                                                           100,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks                             100,000

Thus,

Basic Earnings per Share = $576,000 ÷  100,000

                                           = $5.76

Diluted  Earnings per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks

Calculation of Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock :

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016                    $576,000

Add Preference Shares dividends (28,800 × $5)                        ($144,000)

Add Interest on convertible bonds ( $1,000,000 × 10% × 60%)   ($60,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock                    $780,000

Calculation of Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks :

Common Stocks Outstanding                                                           100,000

Add Convertible preferred shares                                                     60,000

Add convertible bonds                                                                       30,000

Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks             190,000

Thus,

Diluted  Earnings per Share = $780,000 ÷ 190,000

                                               = $4.11

employers prefer to hire ingenious, resourceful people because ingenious people may be more liable to engage in unethical deportment as they can cerebrate outside of the box

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.

hope it ,
