Culver Corporation earned $262,000 during a period when it had an average of 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The common stock sold at an average market price of $15 per share during the period. Also outstanding were 13,500 warrants that could be exercised to purchase one share of common stock for $10 for each warrant exercised.(a) Are the warrants dilutive?

(b) Compute basic earnings per share. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)
(c) Compute diluted earnings per share.

Answer 1

a) The warrant are Dilutive

b) Basic EPS $2.62

c) Diluteed EPS = $2.31

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The warrants are dilute because the cost of exercising the rights is lover than the market price

b) Basic Eps = Total Earning/Share Outstanding = $262,000/100,000 = $2.62

c) Diluted Eps = Earnings/(Shares outstanding+potential shares)

= $262,000/(100,000+13,500) = $2.31
