Answer:

The Diluted earnings per share of Fox common stock for the fiscal year ended May 31 was $1.1756

Explanation:

The bonds were not converted during the fiscal year. The Diluted earning per share will be claculated as follows:

Diluted earning per share

= [net income available to shareholders + bond interest (1 - tax rate)] / Weighted average number of shares outstanding

= [$107000 + $200000*8%*(1 - 34%)]/(80000 + 20000)  

= [$107000 + 16000*(0.66)]/(100000)

= [117560]/(100000)

= $1.1756

Therefore, The Diluted earnings per share of Fox common stock for the fiscal year ended May 31 was $1.1756
