Complete Question:

Hallie owns 20% of the common stock of the Bean Brothers Coffee Company. The company announced plans to offer an additional 10,000 shares of common stock for sale. If Hallie exercises her preemptive rights, Bean Brothers must offer her the opportunity to purchase?

Answer:

2,000 shares

Explanation:

The preemptive rights is the equal opportunity to each shareholder to purchase a proportionate of new shares issuing at the stock exchange to retain its ownership or control position.

Halie has purchased 20% of the company's shares then, if the company is going to issue 10,000 shares of common then 20% of it will be preemptive rights given to Halie as she owns 20%. This means 2,000 share which is 20% of new share offerings would be preemptive rights.
