An investor may choose to invest in a company without a dividend because the investor is looking to profit from the sale of this company's shares. They buy the stock at a low price and hope to sell it quickly at a higher price, and profiting from difference between these two prices (i.e. a capital gain).
No, paying out dividends when a firm's annual net profit is negative is generally not advisable. Dividends are typically distributed from profits, and negative earnings indicate financial difficulties. Distributing dividends in such situations could strain the company's cash flow and undermine its ability to invest in necessary operations or cover losses. It's more prudent to retain earnings to stabilize the business.
A company may choose to pay dividends to reward shareholders for their investment, attract new investors, and demonstrate financial stability and confidence in the company's future performance.
Yes. companies pay out dividends to its share holders from the profit they make out of their business. The more the profit the company makes the greater would be the dividends paid out to the shareholders.
This would depend on the company, but many pay 2 or 4 times a year.
Interest is tax deductible, so amounts paid lower the tax they would have otherwise paid. Dividends are paid with after tax earnings..there is no tax deduction for them. Of course, someone receiving interest pays tax on it at their ordinary income rate, and someone receiving dividends pays tax at the capital gain rate, which is lower.

non cumulative shares are those shares which do not get previouse dividends due to company's bad financial position. for example, if they were suppose to get dividend @10% last year, but could not get due to bad financial position of the company, and in the current year company gets stable and is willing to pay dividend, so it will pay only current year dividends and not last year dividends... if it was cumulative share company would pay last year and current year dividend.. conclusion: non cumulative share doesnot get previouse dividends and cumulative share gets all dividends (previouse+ current) when compnay restores its good financial position.

At one time capital gains were taxed at a lower rate than dividends. Stock buy backs would reduce the number of shares making the remaining shares worth more in theory. Thus a person could sell his shares back to the company for more money than if the company had paid a dividend. Today, that is no longer the case. Dividends are taxed at about the same level as capital gains. A stock buy back gives absolutely no advantage to a stockholder. It takes money that could be used for dividends and uses it for something else. When someone claims that the accounting rules of 15 years ago still apply, you should double check.
A private investment would be considered when a person or company has assets they would like to invest privately. Generally a private investment would be made in a non-public company.
