    a. $1.38

    b. anti-dilutive.

    Explanation:

    Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

    Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation:

    Net income for the year $1,160,000

    Less Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 * 7% * 80%) ($112,560)

    Less Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 * 6%) ($244,800)

    Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $802,640

    Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation:

    Common Stock (5,800,000 / $10) 580,000

    Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 580,000

    Basic Earnings Per Share = $802,640 / 580,000

    = $1.38

    Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders

    Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation:

    Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $802,640

    Add Back Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 * 7% * 80%) $112,560

    Add Back Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 * 6%) $244,800

    Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $1,160,000

    Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation

    Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 580,000

    Add Convertible Bonds ($2,010,000 / $1,000 * 30) 60,000

    Add Convertible Preference Shares ($4,080,000/$100 * 3) 122,400

    Less Common Stock Options (82,100)

    Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 680,300

    Diluted Earnings Per Share = $1,160,000 / 680,300

    = $ 1.70

    Conclusion : Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preference Shares and Common Stock Options are anti-dilutive.
