(b) The number of shares to be used in computing diluted EPS.

No. of shares to be used in computing diluted price;
Diluted earning per share= Common shares+ (Preference shares+ Equivalent common shares)
= 500000+ (700000+ (70000* 2))
= 500000+ 140000

Basic earning per share= Net income/ Common shares
= 7800000/ 500000
= 15.60
