Dali Company has 15,000 shares of stock authorized on January 1. Dali issues 4,500 shares to the stockholders during the year and then the company repurchases 1,500 shares as treasury stock. Based on this information, how many shares are outstanding at December 31?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares authorized = 15,000

Number if shares issued = 4,500

Number of shares repurchased = 1,500

Now,

Total shares outstanding =  Shares issued - Shares repurchased

or

Total shares outstanding = 4500 - 1,500

or

Total shares outstanding = 3,000

Hence,

3,000 shares are outstanding at December 31
