Answer:

$4.54

Explanation:

Diluted earning per share = Adjusted net income/Adjusted shares

Adjusting net income = 900000 + (2000000*7%*70%)

                                    = 998000

Adjusted shares = 200000 + (2000000*10/1000)

                           = 220000

Diluted earning per share = 998000/220000

                                           = $4.54

Therefore,  Worth's diluted earnings per share for 2018 would be $4.54
