Expert Solution

SOLUTION:

Computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding :

1/1 - 12/31 170,000 x ( 12 / 12 ) 170,000
2/28 - 12/31 9,000 x ( 10/12 ) (7,500)
10/31-12/31 9,000 x ( 2 / 12 ) 1,500
11/30-12/31 36,000 x ( 1/12 ) 3,000
Weighted Average No. of Shares Outstanding for 2021   167,000

Weighted average number of shares for 2022 = (170,000 - 9,000 + 9,000 + 36,000) x 2 = 412000
