The XYZ Company's basic earnings per share are $0.71, while the diluted earnings per share are $0.72.

Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Common stock shares on Dec. 31, 2020 = 200,000 shares

July 1, 2021, Issuance of 44,000 shares

Total outstanding common stock

January 1, 2021, Issuance of 16,000 convertible preferred stock

Par value of preferred stock = $100 per share

The Dividend rate of preferred stock = 6%

Convertibility of preferred stock = 8 common shares

Net income = $270,000

Preferred dividend = $96,000 ($1,600,000 x 6%)

Earnings for common stockholders = $174,000 ($270,000 - $96,000)

Basic earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred Dividend)/244,000

= ($174,000)/244,000

= $0.71

Convertible Preferred into Common stock = 128,000 (16,000 x 8) shares

Total shares = 372,000 (244,000 + 128,000)

Diluted earnings per share = $270,000/372,000

= $0.73
