Answer:

2. Issued shares = 160,000 shares

3. Outstanding shares

= Issued shares- Shares repurchased

= 160,000 - 25,000

= 135,000 shares

Authorized shares are shares that a firm is allowed by law to issue to the            public.

Issued shares are shares that a company offers to the public for subscription.

Outstanding shares are shares remaining after the share repurchase.
