Haha, who even needs earnings per share? I just invest based on my gut feeling and the company's snack selection in the break room.

Nah, that's not enough. Investors need to know the full picture. Gotta go with option C, both basic and diluted EPS.

Hold up, what if the company wants to keep it simple and just report the basic EPS? That would be option A, right?

Yup, I agree. Diluted EPS is important for investors to understand the potential impact of convertible securities on the company's earnings.

Hmm, this seems pretty straightforward. If the conversion of debentures results in a higher EPS, the company should disclose both basic and diluted EPS, right?
