180 000 common stock shares outstanding

Explanation:

preference shares are not used in calculating earning per share. Earning per share is the part of the firm's profit that is attributed to common stock shares. It is an indicator of financial strength of a company. It also shows the intrinsic value of the company's shares. This can be used to determine if a share is overvalued or under valued in the equity market.

The company  has 120, 000 common stock shares and issued additional 20,000 common stock shares totaling 180,000 common stock shares.

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
