Answer 1

Answer:

$858,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the number of shares that should be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended

Number of shares=830,000 + (40,000 × 6/12) + [32,000 – (32,000 × ($15 ÷ $20)]

Number of shares=830,000 + 20,000+ [32,000 – (32,000 × 0.75)]

Number of shares=830,000 + 20,000+ [32,000 – 24,000]

Number of shares=830,000 + 20,000+ 8,000

Number of shares= 858,000

Therefore the number of shares that should be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended will be 858,000
