Basic Eps - Diluted Eps
a. 2.77 - 2.67
b. 2.81 - 2.71
c. 2.85 - 2.67
d. 2.81 - 2.68

The correct answer is (b)2.81 - 2.71

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Compute  basic EPS (Earning per share) is stated as follows:

Basic EPS = Net income - (Preferred dividend)/7,000,000

= $20,000,000 - (100,000 * $100 * 6% * 1/2)/7,000,000

= $2.81

Now, compute diluted EPS as follows:

Diluted EPS =[ net income - preferred dividend + interest cost savings/ average outstanding shares + possible shares

=[ $20,000,000 - (100,000 * $100 * 6% * 1/2) + (10,000 * 1,000 * (1- 40%))]/7,000,000 + (10,000 * 50)

= $2.71

Therefore, Ignatius would report the following EPS data (rounded) on its net income of $20 million as $2.81 - $2.71
