LOS g, (Part 1): Describe the components of earnings per share.

For an organization with a simple capital structure, the computation of earnings per share is least likely to consider:

A)
net income.
B)
the weighted average number of preferred shares outstanding.
C)
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.



The equation for Basic EPS (net income – preferred dividends / weighted average number of common shares outstanding) does not include the number of preferred shares outstanding, because the objective is to determine the earnings available to the common shareholder.

Savannah Corp.’s financial accounts for the year ended December 31 included the following information:

No stock transactions occurred during the year and all preferred stock dividends were paid. Basic earnings per share for Savannah are closest to:

A)
$1.74.
B)
$0.90.
C)
$2.44.



Savannah Corp.’s basic EPS ((net income – preferred dividends) / weighted average number of common shares outstanding) was (($122,000 ? $35,000) / $50,000 =) $1.74.

Sampson Corp. had 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding at the beginning of the year.  The average market price was $20.

The weighted average common shares outstanding Sampson should use to compute basic earnings per share (EPS) was:

A)
515,000.
B)
600,000.
C)
485,000.



Only the October 1 transaction affects the weighted average common shares outstanding because the April 1 transaction would not affect the number of shares outstanding and the July 1 transaction involves warrants which would not be included in the basic EPS calculation. The computation for basic EPS is [(500,000 × 12) ? (60,000 × 3)] / 12 = 485,000.

A)
6%, $5000 par value putable bond.
B)
7%, $100 par value non convertible preferred.

A)
company having issued warrants, convertible securities, or options.
B)
company's use of debt to finance its operations.
C)
company having preferred stock outstanding.



A complex structure contains potentially dilutive securities such as options warrants or convertible securities. Where as simple capital structures contain no potentially dilutive securities and contains only common stock and non-convertible securities.

The SSP Company had 5 million shares outstanding on January 1. On February 15 the board of directors approved a 3:2 stock split, effective April 1. What is the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the SSP Company for year-end?

A)
6,875,000 shares.

A)

[Net Income ? Common Dividends] / Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding.

B)

[Sales ? Cost of Goods Sold] / Number of Preferred Shares Outstanding.

C)

[Net Income – Preferred Dividends] / Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding.




The basic EPS calculation does not consider the effects of any dilutive securities in the computation.

Basic EPS = [Net Income – Preferred Dividends]/Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding.

Connecticut, Inc.’s stock transactions during the year 20X5 were as follows:

A)
210,000.
B)
270,000.
C)
150,000.



Connecticut’s January 1 balance of common shares outstanding is adjusted retroactively for the 1 for 3 reverse stock split, meaning there are (360,000 / 3) = 120,000 “new” shares treated as if they had been outstanding since January 1. The weighted average of the shares issued in July, (60,000 × 6 / 12) = 30,000 is added to that figure, for a total of 150,000.

What are the basic earnings per share reported for the year?

A)
$2.75.
B)
$3.75.
C)
$2.00.

What are the diluted earnings per share reported for the year?

A)
$1.50.
B)
$3.00.

An analyst gathered the following information about a company:

What is the company’s weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of 2004?

A)
57,500.
B)
55,000.
C)
57,750.



The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the number of shares outstanding during the year weighted by the portion of the year they were outstanding. Dividends and splits are applied to all shares issued or repurchased and all original or adjusted shares outstanding prior to the split or dividend.

Step 1) Apply the 04/01/04 dividend to the beginning-of-year shares: Adjusted shares = 1.05 × 50,000 = 52,500

Step 2) Apply the 10/01/04 dividend the adjusted beginning-of-year shares. Adjusted beginning of year shares = 57,750 (= 1.1 × 52,500).

Step 3) Compute the weighted average number of shares. 57,750 × (12/12) = 57,750 shares.

Last year, the AKB Company had net income equal to $5 million. Combined state and local taxes were 45%. The firm paid $1 million to holders of its 1 million common shares and $250,000 to 100,000 preferred shareholders. What was AKB's earnings per share (EPS) last year?

A)

$4.75.

B)

$2.25.

C)

$2.50.




EPS = earnings available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings available to common shareholders is net income minus preferred dividends, or $4,750,000 (= $5 million – 250,000) for AKB.

An analyst gathered the following information about a company:

What is the company’s weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of 2006?

A)
47,000.
B)
39,500.
C)
37,000.



The end-of-period weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the number of shares outstanding during the year weighted by the portion of the year they were outstanding. Dividends and splits are applied to all shares issued or repurchased and all original or adjusted shares outstanding prior to the split or dividend.

Step 1) Apply the 04/01/06 dividend to the beginning of year shares:

Adjusted shares = 1.05 × 20,000 = 21,000

Step 2) Apply the 10/01/06 split to the adjusted beginning-of-year shares and the repurchase.

Adjusted beginning-of-year shares = 42,000 (= 2 × 21,000)
Adjusted repurchase = 10,000 (= 2 × 5,000)

Step 3) Compute the weighted average number of shares.

42,000(12/12) - 10,000(6/12) = 37,000 shares

LOS g, (Part 2): Calculate a company's earnings per share (both basic and diluted earnings per share) for both a simple and complex capital structure.

 

Lawson, Inc.’s net income for the year was $1,060,000 with 420,000 shares outstanding. Lawson has 2,000 shares of 8%, $1,000 par value convertible preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year. Each share of preferred is convertible into 50 shares of common stock. Lawson's diluted earnings per share are closest to:

A)
$1.94.
B)
$2.04.
C)
$2.14.



Lawson’s basic EPS ((net income – preferred dividends) / weighted average common shares outstanding) is ($1,060,000 – (2,000 × $1,000 × 0.08)) / 420,000 = $2.14. To calculate diluted EPS the convertible preferred shares are presumed to have been converted, the preferred dividends paid are added back to the numerator of the EPS equation, and the additional common shares are added to the denominator of the equation. Lawson’s diluted EPS is $1,060,000 / (420,000 + 100,000) = $2.04.

Selected information from Able Company’s financial activities is as follows:

Able’s basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are closest to:

Basic EPS

Diluted EPS

A)

$0.64

$0.47

B)

$0.55

$0.52

C)

$0.55

$0.55




Able’s basic earnings per share (EPS) ((Net Income ? Preferred Stock Dividends) / weighted average shares outstanding) for 2004 was (($720,000 ? ($500 × 6,000 × 0.03) ? ($1,000 × 1,000 × 0.08)) / 1,000,000 =) $0.55. If the convertible preferred were converted to common stock on January 1, (6,000 × 40 =) 240,000 additional shares would have been issued. Also, dividends on the convertible preferred would not have been paid.

So we have diluted EPS was ($720,000 ? 80,000) / (1,000,000 + 240,000) = $0.52.
