    diluted earnings is 3.85 per share

    Explanation:

    given data

    net income = $770000

    sold shares = 15000

    new share = 15000

    share outstanding = 180000

    vent share = 20000

    par value = $100

    rate = 7%

    common stock = 2 share

    to find out

    diluted earnings

    solution

    we know here that dilute formula that is

    dilute = net income / (Weighted average for 2018 + vent share * common stock) ... 1

    here Weighted average for 2018 = 150000 * 12/12 + 15000*6/12 + 15000*2/12

    Weighted average for 2018 = 160000 shares

    so from equation 1

    dilute = 770000 / (160000 + 20000 * 2)

    dilute = 3.85

    so diluted earnings is 3.85 per share
