(B) 200
(C) 250
(D) 300

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) 300

Explanation:

Total number of shareholders = 3

Number of shares per shareholder = 100

Total Shares owned by DeWitt Corporation = 100*3

                                                                         = 300

Therefore, DeWitt Corporation is deemed to own 300 shares of Lansing stock.
