A. Shares issued after a stock split must be adjusted for the split.
B. Options outstanding may have no effect on diluted EPS.
C. Reacquired shares are excluded from the computation from the date of reacquisition.

65. A software company holds a number of marketable securities as investments. For the most recent period, the company reports that the market value of its securities held for trading decreased by $2 million and the market value of its securities available for sale increased in value by $3 million.

A. reduce net income and shareholders’ equity by $2 million.
B. increase shareholders’ equity by $1 million and have no effect on net income.
C. reduce net income by $2 million and increase shareholders’ equity by $1 million.

Net income will show a $2 million loss from the securities held for trading. Shareholders’ equity will reflect this loss as well as the $3 million unrealized gain from securities available for sale, for a net increase of $1 millions.
