$123,583.90

Explanation:

Given the following Parameters,

Net income = $120,226,

Interest rate = 9%

Tax = 30%

The following formula then applies,

Diluted EPS = (Net income + Interest after tax)/Total outstanding shares outstanding

Now, Interest(Before tax) = $53,300 * 0.09 = $4797

Now we have to calculate it After Tax

= 4,797 (1-tax rate)

= 4,797(1-0.3)

= $3,357.90

The numerator is,

= (Net income + Interest after tax)

= 120,226 + 3,357.90

= $123,583.90

The numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for 2018 would be $123,583.90
