Question
For this question only, suppose that Prisma reports a net loss for 20X1. Which of the following statements is most accurate?
Answer Choices:
A. Unvested options that are out-of-money are considered dilutive
C. Prisma’s basic EPS and fully diluted EPS would be the same.
Explanation
If a company reports net loss, basic EPS and fully diluted EPS would be the same (i.e.,
dilutive securities = 0). The treasury stock method nets the number of hypothetically
repurchased shares against the total number of potentially dilutive securities. Unvested
options that are in-the-money are considered dilutive. The number of hypothetically
repurchased shares is based on the average share price during the reporting period.
