    297,500 shares

    Explanation:

    Basic Earning per share is calculated dividing Earning for the year excluding preferred dividend by weighted average number of shares.

    Weighted average number of shares are used to calculate the basic earning per share.

    Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares = (300,000 x 6/12) + (300,000 x 105% x 3/12) + [ ((300,000 x 105%) - 40,000) x 3/12) ]

    Weighted Average Number of Shares = 150,000 + 78,750 + 68,750

    Weighted Average Number of Shares = 297,500 shares
