51. An analyst gathered the following data about a company:
The company had 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding for the entire year.
The company’s beginning stock price was $40, its ending price was $60, and its average price over the year was $50.
The company has 120,000 warrants outstanding for the entire year.
Each warrant allows the holder to buy one share of common stock at $45 per share.
How many shears of common stock should the company use in computing its diluted earnings per share?
A. 488,000.
B. 500,000.
C. 512,000.



Ans: C.
Dilution occurs since the exercise price for the warrants ($45) is less than the average market price for the shares ($50). The incremental number of shares outstanding is found from:
() x # warrants
= x 120,000
=12,000
Number of shares to use in diluted EPS calculation
= 500,000+12,000=512,000

52. Which of the following statements about dilutive securities is least accurate?

A. A simple capital structure is one that contains only common stick and antidilutive securities.

B.  A dilutive security is one that will case EPS to decrease if it is converted into common stock.

C. Warrants with exercise prices less than the current stock price can be antidilutive.

  
  Ans: A.

A simple capital structure has only common stock or only common stock and nonconvertible stock. It contains no securities that could ever become or create common stock, even antidilutive ones. Whether warrants are antidilutive depends on the average stock price over the reporting period, not the value at the reporting date.

53. As of January 1, a company had 22,500 $10 par value commons shares outstanding. On July 1, the company repurchased 5,000 shares. The company also has 11,000, 10%, $100 par value preferred shares. If the company’s net income is $210,000, its diluted earnings per share is closest to:
A. $5.00.
B. $7.50.
C. $10.00.


Ans: A.
Since this company has a simple capital structure, basic and diluted EPS are equal.
The numerator equal net income-preferred dividends
=210,000-(11,000shares x 0.10dividend x 100 par)
=210,000-110,000=100,000.
The weighted average shares outstanding
=22,500-(5,000 shares repurchased x 0.5 midyear)
=22,500-2,500=20,000.
Then, basic EPS = diluted EPS=100,000/20,000=$5per share.

55. An analyst gathers the following data about a company:
·
The company had 1 million shares of common stock outstanding for the entire year.
·
The company’s beginning stock price was $50, its ending price was $70, and its average price was $60.
·
The company had 100,000 warrants outstanding for the entire year. Each warrant allows the holder to buy one share of common stock at $50 per share.

A.
1,100,000.
B.
1,083,333.
C.
1,016,667.
D.


Ans: C.
Use the Treasury stock method:
Step 1: determine the number of common shares created if the warrants are exercised = 100,000.
Step 2: calculate the cash inflow if the warrants are exercised:
(100,000)($50 per share)=$5,000,000.
Step 3: Calculate the number of shares that can be purchased with these funds using the average market price ($60 per share):
5,000,000/60=83,333 shares.
Step 4: Calculate the net increase in common shares outstanding from the exercise of the warrants:
100,000-83,333=16,667.
Step 5: Add the net increase in common shares from the exercise of the warrants to the number of common shares outstanding for the entire year:
1,000,000+16,667=1,016,667

59. Bao Company has the following changes in its stock:
The company had 2 million shares outstanding on December 31, 2011.
On March 31, 2012, the company paid a 10% stock dividend.
On June 30, 2012, the company sold $10 million face value of &% convertible debentures, convertible into common at $5 per share.
On September 30, 2012, the company issued and sold 100,000 shares of common stock.

A.
2,225,000 shares.
B.
2,250,000 shares.
C.
3,225,000 shares.
D.


Ans; A.
Basic EPS does not consider potential dilution from convertible bonds.
Original shares =2,000,000x12=24,000,000
+stock dividend=200,000x12=2,400,000
+new shares =100,000x3=300,000
==2,225,000
Alternatively, 2 million(1.1)+(1/4)(100,000)=2.225 million.

A. fair market value – book value.

B. selling price – original cost – accumulated depreciation.

C. selling price – original cost + accumulated depreciation.
