The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding were 1,000 call options issued during 2016, with each option being exercisable for one share at $20. None have been exercised, and 30,000 common shares were outstanding during 2017. The average market price of the company's shares during 2017 was $25.

(c) How would your answers for parts (a) and (b) change if, in addition to the information for parts (a) and (b), the company issued (wrote) 1,000 put options with an exercise price of $15?
