Answer 1

Answer:

A) 26920

Explanation:

Issued common stock with par $10, total $270,000. The total number of issued stocks = $270,000 / $10 per stock = 27,000 stocks

Stocks held in Treasury = $1,200 / $15 per stock = 80 stocks

The total number of outstanding stock = total number of issued stocks - stocks held in Treasury = 27,000 stocks - 80 stocks = 26,920 stocks
