Explanation:

Missing question and Multiple Option " & if-converted methods?  305,000, 292,000, 342,000, 345,333"

Proceeds expected if option are exercised = No of outstanding options and warrants * Per share exercise price

Proceeds expected if option are exercised = 26,000 * $3.75

Proceeds expected if option are exercised = $97,500

Number of treasury shares expected to be purchased = Proceeds expected if option are exercised  / Average market price per share

Number of treasury shares expected to be purchased = $97,500 / $7.50

Number of treasury shares expected to be purchased = $13,000

Number of new shares issued if conversion is effected = Amount of convertible bonds reported / Effective conversion price per share

Number of new shares issued if conversion is effected = $200,000 / $4

Number of new shares issued if conversion is effected = 50,000

Number of basic shares outstanding                                   279,000

Add: Number of new shares through options                     26,000

Less: Number of treasury shares to be purchased             (13,000)  

Diluted Share Outstanding                                                   342,000
