Assume the same information as in BE17-15 except that Melanie reported net income of $350,000 in 2014. Calculate Melanie's 2014 diluted earnings per share.


Data From BE17–15 

Melanie Corporation reported net income of $550,000 in 2014 and had 900,000 common shares outstanding throughout the year. On May 1, 2014, Melanie issued 5% convertible bonds. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 120 common shares. Total proceeds at par amounted to $1 million, and was allocated to the liability and equity components under the residual value method. The liability component was measured first, at present value of the stream of interest payments plus present value of the bond maturity value, all discounted at 8% (the interest rate that applies to similar straight bonds). At the time of issuance, the liability component was recorded at $922,685. Melanie’s tax rate is 30%. Calculate Melanie’s 2014 diluted earnings per share.
