    Option (D) 327,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Shares of common stock issued and outstanding = 300,000

    Stock dividend issued = 10%

    Shares of common stock reacquired as treasury stock = 12,000

    Duration from June 30, 2013 to September 30, 2013 = 3 months

    = 0.25 years

    Now,

    Appropriate number of shares to be used in the basic earnings per share computation for 2013 will be

    = [ 300,000 * (1 + 0.10) ] - [ 12,000 * 0.25 ]

    = 330,000 - 3,000

    = 327,000

    Hence,

    Option (D) 327,000
