    The diluted earnings per share for income from continuing operations is $1.92 and for net income is - $2.875.

    Explanation:

    Net income = $230,000 - $575,000

    = - $345,000 (loss)

    total outstanding shares = 100,000 + 5,000 + 15000

    = 120,000

    diluted earnings (loss) per share for net income (loss)

    = - $345,000/120,000

    = - $2.875

    diluted earnings (loss) per share for income from countinuing operations = $230,000/120,000

    = $1.92

    Therefore, the diluted earnings per share for income from continuing operations is $1.92 and for net income is - $2.875.
