The number of shares that Brick should use to calculate 2015 diluted earnings per share are 202,000 shares

Money as a medium of exchange is more preferable because of its less cumbersome nature.
Explanation:
Money as a medium of exchange is more suitable because of its less cumbersome nature. Money was invented because of the inefficient nature of the barter system.
Money is easily stored compared to a barter system.
Money as a medium of exchange eliminates the barter system's problem of double coincidence of wants. Barter works when you trade things you own for things you want. If for example you want a bicycle and you own a goat, you have to look for someone who wants a goat and owns a bicycle willing to make an exchange, which can be quite difficult.
Money is an acceptable medium of exchange to all parties which makes it more preferable to bartering.
