    (i) Yes

    (ii) $3.8

    Explanation:

    (a) Yes, warrants are dilutive because average market price of $18 is greater than the warrant price of $12.

    (b) Net earnings = $380,000

    Average number of shares = 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding

    Basic earnings per share:

    = Net earnings : Average number of shares

    = $380,000 : 100,000

    = $3.8

    Therefore, basic earnings per share is $3.8.
