Question

Question 7. The corporate charter of Gagne Corporation allows the issuance of a maximum of 100,000 shares of common stock. During its first 2 years of operation, Gagne sold 70,000 shares to shareholders and reacquired 4,000 of these shares. After these transactions, how many shares are authorized, issued, and outstanding?

Answer 1

Answer:

Share Authorized = 100,000 Shares  

Share issued = 70,000

Share outstanding = 66,000 shares

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares Gagne Corporation allows the issuance = 100,000 shares

Number of shares Gagne sold to shareholders =  70,000

Number of shares reacquired by Gagne = 4,000

Now,

Share Authorized = Number of shares Gagne Corporation allows the issuance

= 100,000 Shares  

Share issued = Number of shares Gagne sold to shareholders

= 70,000

Share outstanding = Shares issued - Number of shares reacquired

= 70,000 - 4,000

= 66,000 shares
