Bryce Burch · Answer 1

a) Share issued = 770 million

b) Treasury stock = 105 million

c) Share outstanding = 665 million

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Disclosed shares = 1 billion

Share in treasure stock = 99 million

Issued share = 16 million

Purchased shares = 22 million

Issued stock is same at 770 million

Treasury stock = 99 million - 16 million + 22 million

= 105 million

Share outstanding = 770 million - 105 million

= 665 million
