How many shares are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014?

Solution

The information in the uploaded images pertains to the calculation of the number of issued and outstanding shares for ABC Corp. as of December 31, 2014.

Key Events from 2014:

  1. January 1, 2014:

    • Issued shares = 100,000
    • Treasury shares = 5,000 shares at cost
    • Outstanding shares = Issued shares - Treasury shares = 100,000 - 5,000 = 95,000
  2. May 1, 2014:

    • 1,000 treasury shares were sold, so the treasury shares reduce by 1,000.
    • New outstanding shares = 95,000 + 1,000 = 96,000
  3. July 9, 2014:

    • 10,000 unissued shares were sold for P12 each.
    • New issued shares = 100,000 + 10,000 = 110,000
    • Outstanding shares = 96,000 + 10,000 = 106,000
  4. October 15, 2014:

    • A 2-for-1 stock split occurred. This doubles both the issued and outstanding shares.
    • Issued shares = 110,000 × 2 = 220,000
    • Outstanding shares = 106,000 × 2 = 212,000

Final Answer:

  • Issued shares as of December 31, 2014 = 220,000
  • Outstanding shares as of December 31, 2014 = 212,000

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 220,000 and 212,000.
