Respuesta :

Answer:

104,000

Explanation:

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter is shown below:-

Particulars                                                    Shares

Proceeds from exercise of options a         $126,000

(18,000 × $7)

Used to repurchase of common stock b    $14,000

( $126,000 ÷ $9)

Number of shares if option is exercised c  18,000

Less: Shares assume repurchased d           14,000

Potential Diluted common shares (e = c-d)  4,000

Add: Number of common shares f               100,000

Number of shares diluted earning per share 104,000

(e + f)

So, to reach the Number of shares diluted earning per share we simply add number of number of common shares with potential diluted common shares.
