    The number of shares that Brick should use to calculate 2015 diluted earnings per share are 202,000 shares

    Explanation:

    The computation of the number of shares are shown below:

    = January 1 shares + may 1 shares + convertible cumulative preferred stock

    = 170,000 shares * 4 months : 12 months + 200,000 shares * 8 months : 12 months + 12,000 shares

    = $56666.67 + $133,333.33 + $12,000

    = $202,000 shares

    The 4 months are calculated from January 1 to May 1, 2015

    And, the 8 months are calculated from May 1 to December 31
