At December 31, 20X5, how many shares of Vey's common stock were issued and outstanding?a. 375,000 334,000.b. 375,000 324,000.c. 334,000 334,000.d. 324,000 324,000.

Option A: (375,000, 334,000)

Explanation:

The split is applied to the total stock shares and is not affected by the shares issued. Hence after the split total common stock shares will be as follows:

Common Stock Shares = 125,000 * 3 = 375,000

For outstanding shares, first of all subtracting the 25,000 shares that were held in treasury on December 31 – 20X4.

125,000 – 25,000 = 100,000

After that, 13,000 shares were issued to officers between  January 1 through October 31 – 20X5. We add this to the 100,000.

100,000 + 13,000 = 113,000

On November 1 – 20X5, 3-to-1 split took place after this. Thus, outstanding shares will be

113,000 * 3 = 339,000

On December 1 – 20X5, 5000 shares were purchased. Thus, we subtract this from 339,000.

339,000 – 5,000 = 334,000

As no further transactions took place after December 1 – 20X5,

Outstanding Shares = 334,000.
