    3. 5,110,000 and 5,170,000

    Explanation:

    Number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share

    = 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12

    = 4800000 + 150000 + 160000

    = 5,110,000

    Number of shares to be used in computing dilute earnings per share

    = 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12 + (6000000/1000) * 40*3/12

    = 4800000 + 150000 + 160000 + 60000

    = 5,170,000

    Therefore, The number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share on December 31, 2018 is 5,110,000 and 5,170,000.
