Shank's diluted earnings per share for 2019 would be $3.04.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Amount of increase in net income if bonds are converted =  Total value of convertible bonds * Bond rate * (100% - Tax rate) = $300,000 * 9% * (100% - 30%) = $18,900

Total earnings available to Equity Shareholders = Net income + Amount of increase in net income if bonds are converted = $340,000 +  $18,900 = $358,900

Number of common shares obtainable from convertible bonds = (Total value of convertible bonds / $1,000) * 60 = ($300,000 / $1,000) * 60 = 18,000

Total number of shares outstanding = Number of shares of common stock outstanding during 2019 + Number of common shares obtainable from convertible bonds = 100,000 + 18,000 = 118,000

Diluted earnings per share = Total earnings available to Equity Shareholders / Total number of shares outstanding = $358,900 / 118,000 = 3.04
