Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dividends are not paid on treasury shares because they are shares that have been repurchased by the company and are not considered outstanding. Dividends can be paid on both common and preferred shares, as long as the company's board of directors approves them. Outstanding shares refer to shares that are currently held by investors and are eligible to receive dividends.
