Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the BEPS we would have to use the following formula:

BEPS = Net income available to common stockholders / Weighted Avg. no. of common stock

Net income available to common stockholders=$573,650

Weighted Avg. no. of common stock = 100,000 + (30,000 x 3/12)

Weighted Avg. no. of common stock = 107,500

BEPS = Net income available to common stockholders / Weighted Avg. no. of common stock

BEPS = $573,650 / 107,500

BEPS= $3.56 per share

b. If Thrifty Co.’s preferred stock were convertible into common stock, it would be required to calculate Dluted EPS.
