After the company pays dividends, will the total assets decrease?

Joke, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand upstairs, it will mislead people.

Total assets = company liabilities+owner's equity, which includes capital reserve fund, surplus reserve fund, undistributed profit, etc. After the company pays dividends in cash, the distributable profit will decrease, and the total assets will also decrease accordingly; If undistributed profits or capital reserve are converted into share capital, the number of shareholders' shares has changed, but in fact no cash has been taken from the company, so the total assets and owners' equity have not changed; To make a simple analogy, a rights issue is to take money from the securities market to buy shares in a company. With the increase of the number of shares, the total assets and owners' equity will certainly increase. If the allotment price is higher than the net assets per share, the owner's equity of the old shareholders will increase, and vice versa.
