Answer:

Explanation:

It is always something like B. People born from 1946 - 1955 (those are just numbers), form the majority of the population. They have paid into the pool and they expect to draw out benefits. They have been doing so for at least 8 years.

Health failure is beginning to catch up to this age group and most have not saved for their retirement. Even home ownership is no guarantee that they have the resources to combat what health problems they are having. They need to draw on entitlements. Sooner or later, there won't be any.

Participating Shareholders are eligible to receive an extra dividend provided that there is surplus profit after all the other dividends have been paid off.

<em>3. Holders of the stock are not entitled to receive dividends in excess of the stated rate.  - </em>Non- Participating Shares

Even if there are surplus profits after all other dividends have been paid off, these holders are not entitled to that profit.

<em>4. Holders of the stock lose any dividends that are not declared in the current year - </em>Non- Cumulative Shares

If their dividend is not declared in a certain period, they will forfeit that dividend for the period.
