    The question has the following multiple choices:

    Multiple Choice

    18,000 shares

    50,000 shares

    120,000 shares

    32,000 shares

    49,500 shares

    The correct option is 50,000 shares as shown below

    Explanation:

    Number of shares after stock-split=number of shares before stock split*stock split ratio

    number of shares before stock split=30,000

    stock-split ratio is 5/3

    Number of shares after stock-split=30,000*5/3

    =50,000 shares

    Stock-split is an approach where a company further split its existing shares into multiples of shares in order to make the share more affordable to investors, even though the number of shares increases with a stock-split, but the actual monetary value of the shares remains the same.
