Answer:
33,880,934 stocks
Explanation:
total number of authorized stocks = 60,000,000
stocks issued at beginning of the year = 36,356,357
treasury stocks at beginning of the year = 7,171,269
net change in total stocks outstanding = additional shares issued - increase in treasury stocks = 558,765 - 3,034,188 = -2,475,423
total number of stocks outstanding = outstanding stocks at the beginning of the year + net change in stocks outstanding = 36,356,357 -2,475,423 = 33,880,934 stocks
