    500

    Explanation:

    The computation of Total outstanding shares is shown below:-

    Market Value of Shares before Share repurchase = Equity : Number of Shares outstanding

    = $6,000 : 600

    = $10

    Shares repurchased = Excess Cash : Price of a Share

    = $1,000 : 10

    = 100

    Total Outstanding Shares = Number of Shares outstanding - Shares repurchased

    = 600 - 100

    = 500

    We applied the above formula.
