Explanation:

diluted earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average outstanding shares + diluted shares)

net income = $330,000

preferred dividends = 2,000 x $500 x 8% = $80,000. Since the preferred stocks are convertible, they will be considered diluted shares. Therefore, no preferred dividends will be included in the calculation.

weighted average outstanding shares:

January 1 = 700,000 x 12/12 = 700,000March 1 = 200,000 x 10/12 = 166,666.7total weighted average = 866,666.7

diluted shares = 2,000 preferred stocks x 200 = 400,000

diluted EPS = $330,000 / (866,666.7 + 400,000) = $0.260526247 ≈ $0.26
