Plymouth Corporation
1. Calculation of basic earnings per share
Basic EPS = [Net income – Preference dividends]/Weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
Net income
= $150,500 (given)
Preference dividends = 3800 shares x $100 par each x 7.5%  $28,500
Weighted average outstanding shares =
a) 25,000 – outstanding for 12 months from the beginning
b) 7,000 – outstanding for 5 months as issued on August 1
c) 4,000 – outstanding for 3 months as issued on Sep 30
d) 2,000 – Treasury – balance left days = 10 days in NOV + 31 days in Dec = 41 days
[25,000 shares x 12/12] + [7,000 shares x 5/12] + [4,000 shares x 3/12] – [2,000 shares x
1.3333/12]
Please note: IT is given that Treasury stock was acquired on Nov 20 and NOT on Nov 30.
This date difference will affect the entire set of solutions if the actual date is otherwise.
Since NOV 20 has been given, the number of left months is 1.3333 months.
 25,000 + 2916.67+1000 – 222.22
 28,694.45 shares
Basic EPS = [$150,500 - $28,500]/28,694.45 shares
 $122,000/28,694.45 shares
 $4.25 per share rounded to 2 decimals.
2. Calculation of diluted earnings per share
Here, we have to calculate the EPS when all of the convertible bonds and preferred
stock are converted into common shares.
Given net income $150,500
Add: Income tax at 30% $64,500 (215,000 – 150,500)
Earnings before tax [$150,500/[1-.30]) $215,000
Add: Interest expense on 10% bonds
[$200,000 x 10%] - $1,000 prem.amort. $19,000
Add: Interest expense on 5.8% bonds
[$540,000 x 5.8%] $31,320
Earnings before interest & tax (EBIT) $265,320
If all the bonds are converted into common stock, there would be NO interest expense
and hence EBIT of $265,320 = Earnings before...
