    Diluted eps = $3 per share.

    Explanation:

    Outstanding shares = 100000 shares

    Net income = $ 300000

    Bond face value = $800000

    Convertible in to shares = 16000 shares

    tax rate = 40%.

    we know that: diluted earning per share = (net income + after tax interest on convertible debt) / weighted average number of shares outstanding + diluted shares.

    - After tax interest on convertible bond = 800000 * 10% = $80000 interest.

    $80000 * tax rate = 80000 * 40% = 32000.

    After tax interest on convertible bond = 80000-32000 = $48000.

    = (300000 + 48000)

    / (100000 + 16000)

    = 348000/116000

    = #3 per share.
