I. In simple capital structures, only basic EPS is calculated.
II. In complex capital structures, basic EPS and diluted EPS are both calculated.
III. The purpose of dual presentation is to demonstrate the effect of any conversion on the EPS figure.
Correct Answer: I, II and III
All of the statements are true. The reason for requiring the second EPS number (diluted EPS) is to demonstrate the effect of any possible conversion on EPS. The first EPS number (basic EPS) demonstrates EPS without any possible conversion as a basis for comparison.
