Answer:

$1.68

Explanation:

Diluted EPS = Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders ÷ Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights

where,

Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders = $30,000

and

Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights

Weighted average actual shares outstanding    = 15,000

Plus Potential voting rights of 2,000 options      =          1

Plus Potential voting right of  preferred stock     = 2,900

Total                                                                        = 17,901

therefore,

Diluted EPS = $30,000 ÷ 17,901

                    = $1.68
