The Diluted EPS is $2.11

Explanation:

Diluted EPS = (Net Income-Preferred Dividend) / (weighted average of common stocks + any potential convertible bonds or securities)

Diluted EPS=4,500,000 / (1,200,000 + (400,000*4/12) + 800,000)

The 400,000 shares were issued on September 1,2016 therefore they have been weighted average for 4 months.
