Answer:

174,250 shares

Explanation:

The computation of the number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share is shown below:

Proceeds from exercise of options (a)  $369,000  (41,000 shares × $9)

Used to repurchased for common stock (b) 30,750 shares (41,000 shares × $9 ÷ $12)

Number of shares for exercised (c)                           41,000 shares

Less: repurchased shares (d)                                    -30,750 shares

Diluted common shares {e = c - d}                             10,250 shares

Add: Common shares (f)                                             164,000 shares

Total number of shares for diluted earning per share 174,250 shares

We ignored the market price of common stock as it is not relevant.
