    Number of Shares for Basic Earnings per Share = 3,000,000

    Number of Shares for Diluted Earnings per Share = 3,200,000

    Explanation:

    Basic Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

    Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

    Common Shares Outstanding - December 31, year 1 2,500,000

    April 1, Year 2 Issue, 9/12 * 500,000 375,000

    July 1, Year 2 Issue, 6/12 * 250,000 125,000

    Number of Shares for Basic Earnings per Share 3,000,000

    Diluted Earnings per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

    Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

    Number of Shares for Basic Earnings per Share 3,000,000

    Add 7% convertible bonds (5,000*40 shares) 200,000

    Number of Shares for Diluted Earnings per Share 3,200,000
