    Diluted Eps 7316062.5 31,986,750 2.30145

    Diluted EPS for the year ended at 30 June 2017 = 2.30145 (the smallest)

    Restate Basic EPS for the year ended at 30 June 2016 = $21.2300x 10/10.5 x 5/6 x 1/6
    = $2.80820

    However, the question mentioned that On 1 July 2015, Entity A also issued a $60,000,000, 60,000,000 10% convertible debts to raise funds. How this statement affect the calculation? And will affect which answer? The Restate Basic EPS?

    I know this question is a bit long. I hope you can give me some comments on my answer. I hope you can tell me the answer is right or wrong, and how to correct it. Thank you. Please!!!!

    Hi,

    The convertible debt does not impact the basic EPS calculation, it only has an impact on the diluted earnings per share figure. Have a look at the videos on how the issue of convertibles impacts the earnings and potential number of shares in issue in the future, and then come back with any further issues that you have.

    If you don’t know how it impacts the calculation then you’ve not covered the tuition materials.

    Thanks

    Then how the statement of On 1 July 2015, Entity A also issued a $60,000,000, 60,000,000 10% convertible debts to raise funds. affect the answers. Since they are convertible debts, suppose not affect the Calculation of Basic earnings per share for the year ended at 30 June 2017 and Restate Basic EPS for the year ended at 30 June 2016.

    However, the 10% convertible debts are issued in 2015. Suppose cannot affect the Dilute earnings per share for the year ended at 30 June 2017. So I want to know how the above statement affects these 3 answers. Could you give me some tips?

    Moreover, could you give me advice on the calculation on the Weighted Average, Convertible preference shares, options, and Convertible debts? Whether they are correct?

    Thank you. Please!!!!

    Hi,

    Yes, the issue of the convertibles does not impact the basic EPS, but you will not need to restate the EPS. The issue of convertibles is only relevant for diluted EPS and will increase the earnings by the post tax interest saved, and we will also need to increase the number of shares issued on conversion to shares.

    Thanks
