    Outstanding shares = 30,000

    Explanation:

    Market capitalisation is a measure of the outstanding shares that a company has outstanding (issued). A buyback from the company results in reduction in market capitalisation. However buybacks also tend to increase the price of shares.

    So as at December 31 outstanding shares = Total issued shares - Buyback

    Outstanding shares = (15,000 + 18,000) - 3,000

    Outstanding shares = 30,000
