    Hi My dear Tutor, I have a question the above subject.It is very important

    The question has been taken from Bpp test bank page number 71

    Barwell had 10 million ordinary shares in issue throughout the year ended 30 June 20×3.On 1 July 20×2 it had issued $2 million of 6% convertible loan stock, each $ 5 of loan stock convertible into 4 ordinary shares on 1 July 20×6 at the option of the holder.

    Barwell had profit after tax for the year 30 june 20×3 $1850 it pays tax on profit at 30%

    Solution

    Shares on dilution
    Existing-10000
    Conversion(2000*4/5)-1600

    Earning on Dilution

    BAsic -1850

    Add interest back(2000*6%*70%)-84

    Diluted EPS=1934/11600=0.167

    The question has been taken from 6 september 2016 past paper

    Trial balance at 31 March 20×6
    Equity shares of 1$-50000
    6%convertible loan note-40000

    The following notes are relevant:
    (i) Triage Co issued 400,000 $100 6% convertible loan notes on 1 April 20X5. Interest is payable annually in arrears on 31 March each year. The loans can be converted to equity shares on the basis of 20 shares for each $100 loan note on 31 March 20X8 or redeemed at par for cash on the same date. An equivalent loan without the conversion rights would have required an interest rate of 8%.
    The present value of $1 receivable at the end of each year, based on discount rates of 6% and 8%, are:

    End of year
    6% ————-8%
    1)0·94——-0·93
    2)0·89——0·86
    3)0·84——0·79

    Pv principal(400*100$*0.79)=31600

    Pv of interest flows

    20×6 (40000*6%)*0.93=2232

    20×7 (40000*6%)*0.86=2064

    20×8 (40000*6%)*=1896

    Debt component-31600+2232+2064+1896=37792
    Equity component(40000-37792)-2208
    Cash proceeds=40000

    Liability element b/f-37792
    effective interest rate 8%(37792*8%)-3023
    Cash coupon pay-(2400)
    liability element c/f-38415

    calculate diluted Eps

    Tax rate -20%
    profit for the year 14327(after making adjustments draft pofit before interest and tax)

    Earnings on dilution
    basic-14327

    Add intrest back(3023*80%)-2418

    Shares on dilution
    Existing 50000

    Conversion(40000*20%)=8000

    DIluted eps=16745/58000=0.29

    1st example-conversion procedure(because it is share options that is why?)why we did not take into account this example like tax rate as the below example?
    Shares on dilution
    Existing-10000
    Conversion(2000*4/5)-1600

    2nd example conversion procedure (because it is convertible loan note that is why?)and why convertible loan note is multiplied 20%tax rate-this part still is unclear for me?
    Shares on dilution
    Existing 50000
    Conversion(40000*20%)=8000

    could you explain it to me please?

    Because there’s nothing is a statement of profit or loss relating to options

    But there IS loan interest as a pre-tax deduction where the dilution relates to convertible loans

    So, on conversion, the entity will no longer have to pay loan interest and that means the profit figure would be higher so the tax figure would also be higher

    What equivalent affect on profits do options have? Correct! None

    OK?

    just looking at what u wann try to say:(?

    I really did not understand((((

    Is your question “Why do we deduct tax in the first example but not in the second?

    Both examples are dealt with in exactly the same way! I don’t see where you have identified a difference

    Read the chapter on EPS in the free course notes again and see if it makes any more sense to you

    Then come back to me if you need to

    I meant they have different way of calculating conversion process but i found it

    Barwell had 10 million ordinary shares in issue throughout the year ended 30 June 20×3.On 1 July 20×2 it had issued $2 million of 6% convertible loan stock, each $ 5 of loan stock convertible into 4 ordinary shares on 1 July 20×6 at the option of the holder.

    Barwell had profit after tax for the year 30 june 20×3 $1850 it pays tax on profit at 30%

    1st example-conversion procedure(because it is share options that is why?)why we did not take into account this example like tax rate as the below example?
    Shares on dilution
    Existing-10000
    Conversion(2000*4/5)-1600

    Conversion(40000*20%)=8000or 40000*20 shares/100$=8000 yes?

    It has nothing to do with “1st example-conversion procedure(because it is share options that is why?)”

    This next line of your’s is incorrect

    “Conversion(40000*20%)=8000or 40000*20 shares/100$=8000 yes?”

    The figure is NOT 40,000 – it’s 400,000 according to your post

    “Triage Co issued 400,000 $100 6% convertible loan notes on 1 April 20X5. Interest is payable annually in arrears on 31 March each year. The loans can be converted to equity shares on the basis of 20 shares for each $100 loan note”

    If the conversion is 20 shares for every $100 loan note then, to arrive at the number of potential extra shares we need to divide $400,000 loan note by $100 and then multiply by 20

    Now if you were to divide ANY figure by 100 and then multiply by 20, that’s the same as dividing by 5 and multiplying by 1

    Or, put another way, multiplying by 1/5

    And since multiplying by the fraction 1/5 gives the same result as multiplying by the percentage 20% the the printed solution that states $400,000 x 20% = 80,000 potential extra shares is simply an alternative way of saying $400,000 / $100 x 20 shares = 80,000 potential extra shares

    “and why convertible loan note is multiplied 20%tax rate-this part still is unclear for me?”

    This 20% has absolutely nothing to do with the tax rate. This 20% as explained above is X / $100 * 20 = 20%X

    The tax rate is applied to the loan interest that we will no longer have to pay if the loan note holders exercise their option to convert our debt into equity.

    THAT’S where the 20% tax rate comes in

    OK now?
