Respuesta :

Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

The computation of the diluted earning per share is shown below:

Diluted earning per share = (Net income) ÷ (Weighted average number of shares

where,

Net income = $270,000

Weighted average number of shares is

= 50,000 shares + 5,000 shares × 2 shares

= 50,000 shares + 10,000 shares

= 60,000 shares

Now the diluted earning per share is

= $270,000 ÷ 60,000 hours

= $4.50
