Question

Earning Per Share. Given the following financial structure for Company S for all of 2016:

Common stock, $1 par value, 800,000 shares issued and outstanding all year.
Convertible preferred stock, 50,000 shares, $100 par value, 6% cumulative dividend, each share convertible into 5 shares of common stock.
Convertible bonds, $500,000 face value, 8% stated rate, each $1,000 bond is convertible into 20 shares of common stock.
Stock options, 100,000 options outstanding, each option convertible for one share of stock at an option price of $60 per share.
Additional information:
1. The convertible bonds were issued at par in 2015.
2. The average market price per share for the common stock was $80 for the year.
3. The income tax rate for Company S is 30 percent.
4. Net income for Company S for 2016 was $$2,600,000.
A. Calculate Basic EPS (carry calculations to 2 decimal places).
B. Show your calculations for the numerator and denominator effect of each of the above convertible securities.
C. From your calculations in Part B, complete the schedule to calculate the dilution index of each convertible security, then indicate the ranking (most dilutive = 1) of each convertible security.
D. Using the indexes above to incrementally evaluate the dilutive effect, calculate diluted earnings per share in the space provided on the answer sheet. Show the DEPS calculation at each incremental stage, and carry the calculation to 2 decimal places. CIRCLE the DEPS number that would be displayed in the financials.

Answer 1

A). Calculating the basic EPS

Given :

Net income = $ 2,600,000

`$\text{Basic EPS =} \frac{\text{net income attributable to common stock holders}}{\text{common stock holders outstanding throughout the year}}$`

So, the net income available for the common stock holders = net income given less dividend to preferred stock holders =
`$2,600,000 - 100 * 50,000 * 6\%$`

= $ 2,300,000

The common stock outstanding throughout the year = 800,000

Therefore,

Basic EPS =
`$(2,300,000)/(800,000)$`

= $ 2.88 per common stock

B). The convertible preferred stock =
`$(50,000 * 100 * 6\%)/(50,000 * 5)$`

= 1.20

Convertible bond =
`$(500,000 * 8\% * 70\%)/(500,000/1000 * 20)$`

= 2.80

Stock options =
`$(0)/([100,000-(100,000 * 60/80)])$`

= 0

Now, calculating the numerator and the denominator effect for each of the above convertible securities are :

Numerator Denominator Dilution index

Net Income 2,600,000

Less:Preferred dividend 3,00,000

Net income for common 2,300,000 800,000 2.875

stock (A)

Add: Stock options(B) 0 24,000

Total(C)=A+B 2,300,000 825,000 2.788

Add:Convertible bonds(D) 28,000 10,000

Total (E)= C+D 2,328,000 835,000 2.787

Add: convertible preferred 300,000 250,000

stock (F)

Total (E+F) 2,628,000 1,085,000 2.422

C). Particulars Dilutive index Rank

Stock option 2.788 1

Convertible Bonds 2.787 3

Preferred Stock 2.422 2

D). On the basis of above ranks, the convertible bonds are anti diluter. So the same cannot be included to find out the EPS.

Diluted EPS =
`$\text{net income available to common stockholders + net of tax dividend on convertible }$`
`$\text{preferred stock and the other convertible securities}$` /
`$\text{sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding effect of }$`
`$\text{convertible preferred stock and the convertible stock options.}$`

So, diluted EPS (stage 1) only common stock =
`$(2,300,000)/(800,000)$`

= $ 2.88

Diluted EPS (stage 2) with stock options =
`$(2,300,000+0)/(800,000+250,000)$`

= $ 2.788

The final stage diluted EPS with the stock options and the preferred stock =
`$(2,300,000+300,000+0)/(800,000+250,000+250,000)$`

= $ 2.42
