    The incremental number of shares that will be used for the December 31,2019 is 400 shares

    Explanation:

    To calculate the the incremental number of shares that will be used for the December 31,2019 first we have to calculate the Amount received from Options as follows:

    Amount received from Options = Number of options * Exercise price

    = 2,000 options * $20

    = $40,000

    Therefore, Value of options in current shares = Amount received from options / Average market value of shares

    = $40,000 / 25

    = 1,600 shares

    Therefoe, Diluted shares = Stock options outstanding - Value of Options in Current shares

    = 2,000 shares - 1,600 shares

    = 400 shares

    The incremental number of shares that will be used for the December 31,2019 is 400 shares
