    1. Authorized shares = 300,000 shares

    2. Issued shares = 160,000 shares

    3. Outstanding shares

    = Issued shares - Shares repurchased

    = 160,000 - 25,000

    = 135,000 shares

    Explanation:

    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.
