1.Calculation of No.of shares to be used in computing basic earning per shares
Date | No.of shares | (a) Months | (b)Weight (a/12 months) | Weighted shares |
01/Jan/19 | 1800000 | 12 | 1.00 | 1800000 |
01/Jul/19 | 150000 | 6 | 0.50 | 75000 |
01/Oct/19 | 300000 | 3 | 0.25 | 75000 |

2. Calculation of No.of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share
= No.of shares used for basic earning per share+ No.of future convertible shares
= 1950000+(6000*40 share)
=2190000 shares
