The Gaffe Company had net income of $1,500,000. Gaffe paid preferred dividends of $5 on each of the 100,000 preferred shares. Each preferred share is convertible into 20 common shares. There are 1 million Gaffe common shares outstanding. In addition to the common and preferred stock, Gaffe has $25 million of 4 percent bonds outstanding. If Gaffe's tax rate is 40 percent, what is its diluted earnings per share?
Correct Answer: C
Earnings available to common shares is net income available to common ($1 million) plus the preferred dividends ($500,000). The preferred shares are convertible into 100,000 x 20 = 2 million common shares.
