$638,000

Explanation:

The number of shares that should be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2013:

= [(Shares issued at December 31, 2012 × (6 ÷ 12)]

+ [(Shares issued at December 31, 2012 + Additional Shares issued at July 1, 2013) × (6 ÷ 12)]

+  {Purchase common stock  × [(Market price - Purchase price) ÷ Market price]}

= [(610,000 × (6 ÷ 12)] + [(610,000 + 40,000) × (6 ÷ 12)] +  {32,000 × [($20 - $15) ÷ $20]}

= 305,000 + 325,000 + 8,000

= $638,000
