a) The warrant are Dilutive

b) Basic EPS $2.62

c) Diluteed EPS = $2.31

Explanation:

a) The warrants are dilute because the cost of exercising the rights is lover than the market price

b) Basic Eps = Total Earning/Share Outstanding = $262,000/100,000 = $2.62

c) Diluted Eps = Earnings / (Shares outstanding+potential shares)

= $262,000 / (100,000+13,500) = $2.31
