Answer 1

Answer:

the maximum that shareholders can lose is their original investment in the firm's stock AND the claims of preferred shareholders are honored before those of the common shareholders.

Explanation:

          Bankruptcy may be defined as the legal proceedings that involves a person or a business where the person or the business firm is not able to repay the debts that are outstanding. When a firm or a person files a bankruptcy, there is an automatic stay put by the court that blocks the debts.

         In case of bankruptcy the different shareholders of the firm losses a maximum of their original investment that they have done in the firm while purchasing the stocks. And also the claims of the preferred shareholders are being honored first than those of common shareholders.
