Q. For its fiscal year-end, Calvan Water Corporation (CWC) reported net income of USD12 million and a weighted average of 2,000,000 common shares outstanding. The company paid USD800,000 in preferred dividends and had 100,000 options outstanding with an average exercise price of USD20. CWC’s market price over the year averaged USD25 per share. CWC’s diluted EPS is closest to:选项：
A.USD5.33 B.USD5.54 C.USD5.94解释：
B is correct. The formula to calculate diluted EPS is as follows:
Diluted EPS = (Net income – Preferred dividends)/[Weighted average number of shares outstanding + (New shares that would have been issued at option exercise – Shares that could have been purchased with cash received upon exercise) × (Proportion of year during which the financial instruments were outstanding)].The underlying assumption is that outstanding options are exercised, and then the proceeds from the issuance of new shares are used to repurchase shares already outstanding:
Proceeds from option exercise = 100,000 × USD20 = USD2,000,000Shares repurchased = USD2,000,000/USD25 = 80,000The net increase in shares outstanding is thus 100,000 – 80,000 = 20,000. Therefore, the diluted EPS for CWC = (USD12,000,000 – USD800,000)/2,020,000 = USD5.54.
首先，理解Option就是约定价格的股票期权，如果价格低于股票现值，员工行权就可以赚钱。
用在外发行100,000 USD 的Option，每一只20，价格低于当前的25USD，所以假设全部期权都会行权，所以购买回80,000支普通股，所以市面上新增的普通股就是100,000-80,000=20,000支，加在分母上了。
是这样理解吗？
