Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Corporations purchase and hold treasury stock in order to have shares available to distribute to employees for compensation plans. Corporations may buy stock to distribute cash to owners who choose to sell their stock. Treasury stock can also be used to increase a corporation's earnings per share by reducing the number of shares outstanding. In addition, by keeping stock in the corporate treasury, companies can reduce the amount of future cash dividends to be paid and the risk of a hostile takeover.
