In one area of the world, samples 7–9 and sample Y are seen together in an outcrop. Your colleague sketched the stratigraphic column below. Based on their illustration, which TWO of the following statements can you conclude are TRUE? Visual Description On the right side of the diagram is a vertical list of labels reading, from top to bottom: Sample 7, Sample 8, Sample 9, Unconformity, and Sample Y. On the left side is a vertical stack of patterned layers that correspond to those labels. At the top, the layer labelled Sample 7 is drawn with a brick-like rectangular block pattern, suggesting a well-lithified, blocky rock unit. Below it, the layer labelled Sample 8 is shown with thin, horizontal lines, indicating a finely layered or laminated sedimentary rock. Below that, Sample 9 is represented by a pattern of small dots, indicating a granular or sandy sediment. Below Sample 9 is a wavy red horizontal line, labelled Unconformity. This line is irregular and undulating, clearly marking a break in deposition or an erosion surface between older and younger rocks. Below the unconformity is Sample Y, shown as a thicker unit filled with scattered red and black dots within a lighter background, indicating a different rock type from those above.

At the base of the sequence you find a rock (sample 9). It feels like coarse sandpaper against your fingers. Inspect sample 9 further. Visual Description The rock is tan to sandy beige in colour and has a clearly granular, sandy texture, with tiny visible grains across its surface. The grains appear uniform in size and well sorted, giving the rock a relatively even appearance. Across the face of the rock are several subtle, wavy, parallel lines that run roughly horizontally from left to right. These lines appear as gentle ripples.

The 10 percent bonds were issued on July 1, 2026, at face value and are convertible into 25 shares of common stock. The 12% bonds were issued in 2025, at face value and are convertible into 20 shares of common stock. All the bonds have a face value of $1,000. The 5% cumulative, convertible preferred stock was issued at the beginning of 2026 at par. Each share of preferred is convertible into 2 shares of common stock. The average income tax rate is 20 percent. 500,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the entire year. Preferred dividends were not declared in 2026. Net income was $2,500,000 in 2026. No bonds or preferred stock were converted during 2026. Required: Calculate basic and diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2026. Your answer should include a calculation of basic EPS, the per share effect on EPS of all convertible instruments, the ranking of the per share effects, and the recomputation of EPS for each security to arrive at your answer for diluted EPS. You must clearly show your final answer for Basic and Diluted EPS.
