Problem - Martinez Inc. had 503,000 common shares outstanding for the entire fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. Martinez has 103,000 outstanding $2 cumulative, no-par value preferred shares. All shares were outstanding for the full year. Options were written at the start of the fiscal year to purchase 31,000 common shares at $16 per share. The average market price of Martinez's common shares during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $25 per share. The options expire in 2029, and none were actually exercised during the current year.

Martinez Inc.'s net income for the year was $2,695,850, and the income tax rate for the fiscal year was 40%. (For simplicity, ignore the requirement to record the debt and equity portions of the convertible bond separately).
