Final Answer :
A.Authorized shares = 25,000 = number in the corporate charter.
B.Issued shares = 20,000 = authorized shares - unissued shares = 25,000 - 5,000.
C.Held in the treasury = 2,000 = repurchased and still held by the company.
D.Outstanding shares = 18,000 = issued shares - treasury shares = 20,000 - 2,000.
