Step-by-step explanation
13. Answer: A.
The general partner is allowed to audit the books and documents of the partnership at all appropriate times and there is no limit to the review of the books and is free to pass the economic interest. In addition to his/her income, he can also earn salaries.
14. Answer: B.
The general partners have unlimited liabilities against the company's debts, unlike the other partners. Hence the amount of investment made in the partnership exceeds his liability. As a result, the general partner is legally responsible for the partnership's debts.
15. Answer: A.
Each partner is shielded from any malpractice committed by other partners in the LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) (s). A spouse may thus, escape responsibility for other partners' malpractice.
16. Answer: A.
A limited liability corporation (LLC) is a legal structure in which the company's owners cannot be held individually liable for the debts or liabilities of the company. In nature, limited liability corporations are hybrid organizations that incorporate the features of a company and a partnership or sole proprietorship.
17. Answer: A.
Option an is right as the partners run the company by themselves in the case of LLP and no external management is employed. Option b, thus is incorrect too. Option c is incorrect since LLP may have representatives who are foreign nationals. Option d is incorrect since there is no defined time in any state law for LLP.
18. Answer: B
In a joint venture, the gains, losses, and costs associated with it are the responsibility of each of the partners. The venture, however, is its own organization, independent from the other business interests of the members.
19. Answer: C.
A syndicate in finance terms is a group of bankers or investors who come together to offer a business or a project loan. It is one of the common sources of finance for projects. Option c is therefore right. Option a is incorrect because it is legal to form a syndicate to give out loans. Option b is wrong since criminal groups are often referred to as syndicates, but the word syndicate is typically suffixed with criminal work. Option d is wrong since there is no tax evasion in the creation of a syndic.
20. Answer: C.
A company can be kept accountable for its employees' illegal actions.
21. Answer: B.
S corporations are ordinary business corporations that for federal tax purposes, chose to transfer corporate profits, losses, deductions and credits to their shareholders.
22. Answer: D.
It is one whose shares are owned by very few individuals who also belong to a family.
