Answer:
33,000 shares
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted - average common shares outstanding is shown below:
= Outstanding common shares + Issued shares × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year - repurchased shares × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= 14,000 shares + 40,000 shares ×  6 months ÷ 12 months  - 6,000 shares  × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= 14,000 shares + 20,000 shares  - 1,000 shares
= 33,000 shares
