(Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of outstanding shares is  26,065,900.00  

Explanation:

The number of shares outstanding at the end of the year comprises of all issued shares minus all treasury stock.

The company had issued 35,959,092 shares as well as 567,265 shares till date,hence total issued shares is 36,526,357 shares(35,959,092+567,265)

However,the total number of treasury stock to date is  10,460,457 (7,341,269+3,119,188)

Outstanding shares=36,526,357-10,460,457= 26,065,900.00
