Required:
What would Knight Co. report as consolidated diluted earnings per share (rounded)?


Answer :

Common stock=(Sub net income - preferred dividends)
CS= 300000-(2000*$2)
CS= 296000
Knight owns 80% of common stock
CS*80%=portion of sub net income
296000*80%=236800

Knight co. Consolidated diluted earnings per share = (parent net income+ portion of sub net income)/shares

EPS=(400000+236800)/100000
EPS= 636800/100000
EPS=$6.37
