Question

eg. Market Cap. 38.89 Mil
Total Shares Out. 12.79 Mil
Avg. Daily Volume NA
P/E 48.60
Forward P/E NA
Earnings/Share 0.06
Return on Equity 8.39

Answer 1

Market cap(itilaztion) refers an amount that is determined by multiplying the outstanding shares (also the "float" - shares that are actually in the hands of shareholders) by the price of the stock.

Answer 2

o/s = Outstanding Shares = Float = (Issued Stock - Restricted Shares)

Corporate Finance 101:

One of the ways companies raise money is by authorizing and then selling shares of their stock on the open market. Legally, when a corporation is formed its articles of incorporation spell out how many shares it may Issue at any given time.

Let's say in your example above that in its charter XZY Co. is authorized to sell 20 Mil shares but they choose to Issue (ie: sell) only 15 million.

They may sell 2.81 Mil restricted shares to private investors and sell the other 12.79 Mil on the open market. It is only these 12.79 Mil that count towards Float (Not the 2.81 Mil restricted shares, or the additional 5 Mil non-issued, but authorized shares).

If the stock of XZY Co. is currently trading at around $3.04 then $3.04 x 12,790,000 Float = $38,890,000 Market Capitalization.

Hope this helps
