Explanation:

Step 1 Calculate Basic Earning per Share

Basic Earning per Share = Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders :

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011            6,000,000

Preference dividend                                                                 (150,000)

Interest on Bonds  ($100,000×80%)                                         (80,000)

Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders                5,770,000

Basic Earning per Share = $5,770,000/900,000 shares

                                        = $6.41

Step 2 Calculate Diluted Earnings per Share

Diluted Earning per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders :

Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders                5,770,000

Add Interest on Bonds  ($100,000×80%)                                   80,000

Earnings Attributable to Common Stock Holders                5,850,000

Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

Shares of common stock                                                          900,000

Add Convertible Bonds (2,000,0000/1,000×5)                          10,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders         910,000

Diluted Earning per Share = 5,850,000/910,000

                                           = $6.43

The Convertible Bonds are Anti-Dilutive on comparison with the Basic Earnings per share.

you have to put the parentheses like this:

in fact, you have to perform the operation inside parentheses first, and then proceed in order:
