    170,000 shares will be outstanding.

    Explanation:

    From the question, it can be easily stated that -

    Authorized Shares = 200,000 shares

    Issued Shares = 190,000 shares

    Outstanding shares = Issued shares - Treasury stock (Repurchased shares)

    Outstanding shares = (190,000 - 20,000) shares

    Therefore, the company has 170,000 amount of outstanding shares.

    As the company repurchase the stock, those shares will be deducted from issued shares to determine outstanding shares.
