Is redeemable preferred stock a liability or shareholders' equity?
Answer-Redeemable preferred stock is a type of preferred stock that allows the issuer to buy back the stock at a certain price and retire it, thereby converting the stock to treasury stock. ... It pays dividends, as do other forms of equity, but it may also be bought back by the issuer, which is a characteristic of debt.

privileges include the right to receive dividends at a specified rate before common
shareholders and the right to receive a portion of liquidation proceeds before common
shareholders. Except in unusual instances, preferred shareholders have no voting rights.
