    126,000 shares

    Explanation:

    Stock split is a method used to increase the number of shares in an organization without a change on the company's owners equity or market value, but cause a decrease to the market price of the shares which in return attracts investors.

    No of shares stock = 42000

    New offer = 3-for 1

    Stock outstanding after split=

    3/1*42000

    =126,000 shares
