    12,300 shares

    Explanation:

    The computation of the weighted average number of common shares is shown below:

    = Number of shares + issued shares * number of months : total number of months - treasury stock shares reacquired * number of months : total number of months

    = 10,000 shares + 5,000 shares * 6 months : 12 months - 600 shares * 4 months : 12 months

    = 10,000 shares + 2,500 shares - 200 shares

    = 12,300 shares

    We deduct the treasury stock shares and added the issued shared to the beginning shares

    Plus we assume the books are closed on December 31 so according to that we considered the number of months i. e to be taken while computing the weighted number of shares
