Juliet Benitez · Answer 1

33,880,934 stocks

Explanation:

total number of authorized stocks = 60,000,000

stocks issued at beginning of the year = 36,356,357

treasury stocks at beginning of the year = 7,171,269

net change in total stocks outstanding = additional shares issued - increase in treasury stocks = 558,765 - 3,034,188 = - 2,475,423

total number of stocks outstanding = outstanding stocks at the beginning of the year + net change in stocks outstanding = 36,356,357 - 2,475,423 = 33,880,934 stocks
