    D) 270,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the outstanding number of shares is shown below:

    = (Issued shares - treasury shares) * stock split ratio

    = (100,000 shares - 10,000 shares) * 3

    = 90,000 shares * 3

    = 270,000 shares

    Simply we deduct the treasury stock from the issued shares and then multiply it by the stock split ratio so that the correct amount of outstanding shares can come
