I'm not sure, but I think the diluted earnings per share will be lower than the basic earnings per share.

I agree with Loren, because the share options will dilute the earnings per share.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Diluted earnings per share seems like a tricky concept. Do they really expect us to remember all these formulas and calculations on the exam? I need to brush up on my financial accounting skills.

I agree with Matthew. The diluted earnings per share is the most accurate measure of the company's profitability, as it takes into account the potential increase in the number of shares outstanding.

The correct answer is D) 55.6 cents. The diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking the profit after tax and dividing it by the diluted number of shares, which includes the share options.
