    5,000

    Explanation:

    When a company sells stock they must record the value of the stock sold at par value in the common stock account. Any extra money received should go to the capital paid-in excess of par value account.

    In this case, Marvin's common stack account equals $50,000. In order to find out how the number of outstanding stocks, we just divide $50,000 by $10 (par value) = 5,000 stocks.
