Answer:

d. $1.69 and $1.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic EPS = Net income ÷ Common share outstanding

Where, Net income = $7,121

Common shares outstanding = 4,221

So, Basic EPS = $7,121 ÷ 4,221

= $1.69

Diluted EPS = Net income ÷ Weighted dilutive share

Where, Weighted dilutive share = 4,305

So, Diluted EPS = $7,121 ÷ 4,305

= $1.65

Hence, $1.69 and $1.65 is the correct answer.
