Beck also issued preferred stock convertible to 100,000 shares of common stock. In year 3, Beck purchased 75,000 shares of its common stock and held it in Treasury. At December 31, year 3, how many shares of Beck's common stock were outstanding?

Respuesta :

Answer:

225,000  shares

Explanation:

Common stock outstanding, Dec 31, year 1 = 200,000

Common stock outstanding, Dec 31, year 2:

= 200,000 + 100,000

= 300,000

Common stock outstanding, Dec 31, year 3:

= 300,000 - 75,000**

= 225,000

Therefore, 225,000 shares of Beck's common stock were outstanding.

**Repurchase of common stock reduces the number of shares outstanding.
