EPS with Contingent Issuance Agreement) Winsor Inc. recently purchased Holiday Corp., a large midwestern home painting corporation. One of the terms of the merger was that if Holiday’s income for 2017 was \(110,000 or more, 10,000 additional shares would be issued to Holiday’s stockholders in 2018. Holiday’s income for 2016 was \)120,000.

Instructions

(a) Would the contingent shares have to be considered in Winsor’s 2016 earnings per share computations?

(b) Assume the same facts, except that the 10,000 shares are contingent on Holiday’s achieving a net income of $130,000 in 2017. Would the contingent shares have to be considered in Winsor’s earnings per share computations for 2016?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Yes, contingent shares will be considered
  2. No, contingent share will not be reflected.

Step by step solution

01

Consideration of Contingent shares

(a) The contingent shares would need to be reflected in diluted earnings per share because the earnings level is as of now being achieved. Actual income of $120,000, exceeds the limit of $110,000.

02

Consideration of Contingent shares

(b) Since the earnings level isn't by and large right now achieved, contingent shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Actual income of $110,000 is less than $130,000.

CA16-6 WRITING (EPS, Antidilution) Brad Dolan, a stockholder of Rhode Corporation, has asked you, the firm’s accountant, to explain why his stock warrants were not included in diluted EPS. In order to explain this situation, you must briefly explain what dilutive securities are, why they are included in the EPS calculation, and why some securities are antidilutive and thus not included in this calculation.

Rhode Corporation earned \(228,000 during the period, when it had an average of 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The common stock sold at an average market price of \)25 per share during the period. Also outstanding were 30,000 warrants that could be exercised to purchase one share of common stock at $30 per warrant.

Instructions

Write Mr. Dolan a 1–1.5-page letter explaining why the warrants are not included in the calculation.

Question: . Mae Jong Corp. issues \(1,000,000 of 10% bonds payable which may be converted into 10,000 shares of \)2 par value ordinary shares. The market rate of interest on similar bonds is 12%. Interest is payable annually on December 31, and the bonds were issued for total proceeds of $1,000,000. In accounting for these bonds, Mae Jong Corp. will:

(a) first assign a value to the equity component, then determine the liability component.

(b) assign no value to the equity component since the conversion privilege is not separable from the bond.

(c) first assign a value to the liability component based on the face amount of the bond.

(d) use the “with-and-without” method to value the compound instrument.

How is antidilution determined when multiple securities are involved?

Question: Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for dilutive securities, stock-based compensation, and earnings per share.

(Conversion of Bonds) Vargo Company has bonds payable outstanding in the amount of \(500,000, and the Premium on Bonds Payable account has a balance of \)7,500. Each \(1,000 bond is convertible into 20 shares of preferred stock of parvalue of \)50 per share. All bonds are converted into preferred stock.
