Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Issued stock refers to the number of shares that a company has sold and issued to investors, regardless of whether the investors still hold them or have sold them to others. It includes both outstanding shares (shares held by investors) and treasury shares (shares held by the company itself). Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it encompasses both outstanding and treasury shares. The other choices are not accurate as they do not fully encompass the concept of issued stock.
