    1,573,000 shares

    Explanation:

    The computation of the shares computing diluted earnings per share for 2018 is shown below:

    = 1,000,000 shares * 6 months : 12 months + 2,000,000 shares * 6 months : 12 months + [ ($28 - $21) : 28 ] * 292,000 shares

    = 500,000 shares + 1,000,000 shares + 73,000 shares

    = 1,573,000 shares

    The 2,000,000 shares is come from

    = 1,000,000 shares + 1,000,000 shares
