Answer:

The correct option is c. 300,000.

Explanation:

The number of common shares issued by the company can be calculated as follows:

Common stock each at par =$0.20

Common stock total value at par = $60,000

Number of common shares issued = Common stock total value at par / Common stock each at par = $60,000 / $0.20 = 300,000

Therefore, the number of common shares issued by the company is closest to: c. 300,000.
