Shares of Common Stock
Hello everyone. I am a student working on a homework assignment and things have been going well, up until this point. I hit a stumbling block with a question, and I can't figure out how to get the answer. I am not looking for the answer per se, but I am looking at the method for coming up with the answer.
Here is the problem:
Given this data, I need to figure out how many shares of common stock are outstanding in order to figure out the rest of the problem.
