Step 1 of 2

Evaluate the form of the corporate organization as mentioned below-

A statement that the stock holders are personally liable for the debts of the company is incorrect as the stock holder has made some contribution to the company. Liability of the stockholders lies within that range only

Rights of the stockholder can be transferred to another stock holder as shares can be sold on the secondary market. So no approval is required from the other stock holders.

Unless the stock holders have been appointed as the agents of the company, their acts cannot bind the corporation. So the said statement is incorrect.

None of the explained options are correct.
