For its fiscal year-end, Calvan Water Corporation (CWC) reported net income of $12 million and a weighted average of 2,000,000 common shares outstanding. The company paid $800,000 in preferred dividends and had 100,000 options outstanding with an average exercise price of $20. CWC’s market price over the year averaged $25 per share.CWC’s diluted EPS is closest to:
选项：
A.$5.33.
B.$5.54.
C.$5.94.
解释：
B is correct.
The formula to calculate diluted EPS is as follows:
Diluted EPS = (Net income – Preferred dividends) / [Weighted average number of shares outstanding + (New shares that would have been issued at option exercise–Shares that could have been purchased with cash received upon exercise) × (Proportion of year during which the financial instruments were outstanding)].
The underlying assumption is that outstanding options are exercised, and then the proceeds from the issuance of new shares are used to repurchase shares already outstanding:
Proceeds from option exercise = 100,000 × $20 = $2,000,000
Shares repurchased = $2,000,000/$25 = 80,000
The net increase in shares outstanding is thus 100,000 – 80,000 = 20,000. Therefore, the diluted EPS for CWC = ($12,000,000 – $800,000)/2,020,000 = $5.54.
这里的preferred dividend指的都是option的？
