Authorized share capital = 100,000 shares

Issued share capital = 70,000 shares

Number of shares outstanding = 70,000 - 7,000 = 63,000 shares

Explanation:

Authorized share capital is the maximum share capital allowed by law ie 300,000 shares.

Issued share capital is the part of authorized share capital offered to the public for subscription ie 70,000 shares

Outstanding shares are the number of shares remaining at year-end ie 70,000 - 7,000.
