Mininova Corporation is preparing earnings per share data for 2017. The net income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $400,000 and there were 60,000 common shares outstanding during the entire year. Mininova has the following two convertible securities outstanding:

5% convertible $100 par value preferred shares (each share is convertible into two common shares) ................................................................................................ $50,000
Both convertible securities were issued at face value in 2014. There were no conversions during 2017, and Mininova's income tax rate is 24%. The preferred shares are cumulative. For simplicity, ignore the requirement to record the debt and equity components of the bonds separately.
