weighted average of outstanding shares. 124,000

beginning 100,000

+ 30,000 x 7/12 (May issued shares)

+  13,000 x 6/12 (130,000 x 10% stock dividends)

100,000 + 17,500 + 6,500 = 124,000 shares for the weighted average of outstanding shares.

for the diluted earning per share:

each bond can convert to 21 shares, potentially increasing the amount of shares outstanding to:

1,000 x 21 = 21,000 new shares

124,000 + 21,000 = 145,000
