Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

When a firm purchases its own shares they become part of the company's treasury stock. This usually happens when the organization intends to sell those shares in the future. According to the General Accepted Accounting Principles (<em>GAAP</em>), the transactions between a firm and its owners are not considered as profit-making. Thus, when a company reissues the treasury stock shares no revenues or losses are recorded.
