Solution

In a 3-for-2 stock split, for every 2 shares that a shareholder owns, they receive 3 shares. Therefore, the number of shares increases by 50%.

Robinson's currently has 42,000 shares of stock outstanding.

To find out how many shares will be outstanding after the split, you simply need to increase the current number of shares by 50%.

So, 42,000 shares * 1.5 = 63,000 shares.

Therefore, after the stock split, there will be 63,000 shares of stock outstanding.
