    The weighted-average number of shares outstanding = 1,699,025

    Explanation:

    January 1, 459,000 common stocks x 1.1 (stock dividend) x 3 (stock split) = 1,514,700 stocks

    February 1, issued 123,000 common stocks = 123,000 x 1.1 (dividend) x 3 (split) x 11/12 (time) = 372,075 stocks

    May 1 acquired 101,000 treasury stocks = - 101,000 x 8/12 (time) x 3 (split) = - 202,000 stocks

    October 1, reissued 57,000 treasury stocks = 57,000 x 3/12 (time) = 14,250 stocks

    The weighted-average number of shares outstanding = 1,514,700 + 372,075 - 202,000 + 14,250 = 1,699,025 stocks
