Compute diluted earnings per share.

$1.40 per share

Explanation:

The calculation of the diluted earning per share is given below:

Diluted earning per share = Net income ÷ weighted number of shares

where,

Net income is $300,000

And, the weighted number of shares is

= 200,000 shares + (45,000 options - 45,000 options × $10 ÷ $15

= 200,000 shares + (45,000 options - 30,000 options)

= 200,000 shares + 15,000

= 215,000 shares

So, the diluted per share is

= $300,000 ÷ 215,000 shares

= $1.40 per share
