Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Issued stock refers to the total number of shares that have been formally authorized, are outstanding, and can be bought and sold by investors. This includes both the shares held by investors (outstanding shares) and the shares that the company itself has repurchased and is holding for future use or retirement (treasury shares). Authorized shares are the maximum number of shares that a company is allowed to issue. Therefore, the correct choice is A- Outstanding plus treasury shares.
