As we will show below, only the options and convertible preferred stock are dilutive.
First, calculate basic EPS to use as a benchmark to determine dilutive capital components. Basic EPS = (net income – preferred dividends) / weighted average common shares outstanding Here, preferred dividends = (0.5 shares × $30 par × 0.10 dividend) = $1.5 million = (9.0 – 1.5) / 5.0 = $1.50.
Now, check for dilutive elements.
- options are dilutive because the exercise price is less than the stock price. There is no numerator impact from the options. The denominator impact = # options – [(# options × exercise price) / average stock price)] = 400,000 – [(400,000 × 32) / 35] = 34,286 or 0.034 million.

To check whether the convertible preferred stock is dilutive we need to determine whether it decreases EPS. To the numerator, we add back the preferred dividend. The denominator impact = (# preferred shares × conversion rate) = 500,000 × 5 = 2,500,000, or 2.5 million. Then, EPS = (9.0 – 1.5 + 1.5) / (5.0 + 2.5) = $1.20. Thus the convertible preferred stock is dilutive.

To check whether the convertible bonds are dilutive we need to determine whether they decrease EPS. To the numerator, we add back the after-tax impact of the coupon, or (face value × coupon × (1 − t)), or (10,000 bonds × 1,000 par × 0.06 coupon × 0.6 ) = 360,000, or $0.360 million. The denominator impact = (# convertible bonds × conversion rate) = 10,000 × 8 = 80,000, or 0.080 million. Then, EPS = (9.0 – 1.5 + 0.360) / (5.0 + 0.080) = $1.55. Thus the bonds are antidilutive.
Finally, calculate dilutive EPS: Diluted EPS = (9.0 – 1.5 + 1.5) / (5.0 + 2.5 + 0.034) = approximately $1.19
