| kalps | Preferred convertible stock: 1) The Net income increases as the dividend to pref holders is reduced assuming conversion 2) the average number of shares increases due to assume docnversion into ordinary shares |
| o123 | It would be none of the above if the p stock was anti-dilutive. |
| mordja | or if there were no div declared on non-cumulative p stock |
| magicchip | Good question. |
| Beret | Do preferred stocks always have dividends? Also when they are non-cummulative and no dividends are paid in the period? |
| Sam123456 | Doesn't the numerator decrease? When you subtract preferred dividends, you get a smaller number on top. Still choice A) but I wonder if the explanation is off. |
| johntan1979 | Is the dividend to be added back net of tax just like interest expense of a convertible bond? |
| jonan203 | Sam, the numerator increase because you add the preferred dividends (adjusted for tax [div(1-.X%)]) into the numerator as the preferred liability goes away when converted to common |
| forry9er | Johntan - No - Ignore taxes when referring to preferred stock |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
