Question:

If the convertible bonds are considered dilutive, the number of shares of common stock that the analyst should use to calculate diluted earnings per share is:

A 1,100,000.

Then add the impact of the bond conversion:
(10,000)(20) x (6/12) = 100,000
Thus, the adjusted denominator for fully diluted EPS is:
1,000,000 + 100,000 = 1,100,000
