42. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a.
If a corporation elects to be taxed as an S corporation, then both it and its stockholders can avoid all Federal
taxes. This provision was put into the Federal Tax Code in order to encourage the formation of small
businesses.
b.
The more capital a firm is likely to require, the smaller the probability that it will be organized as a
corporation.
c.
It is generally easier to transfer one’s ownership interest in a partnership than in a corporation.
d.
One danger of starting a proprietorship is that you may be exposed to personal liability if the business goes
bankrupt. This problem would be avoided if you formed a corporation to operate the business.
e.
Corporate shareholders are exposed to unlimited liability, but this factor is offset by the tax advantages of
incorporation.

43. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a.
Due to limited liability, unlimited lives, and ease of ownership transfer, the vast majority of U.S. businesses
(in terms of number of businesses) are organized as corporations.
b.
Most businesses (by number and total dollar sales) are organized as proprietorships or partnerships because it
is easier to set up and operate one of these forms rather than as a corporation. However, if the business gets
very large, it becomes advantageous to convert to a corporation, primarily because corporations have
important tax advantages over proprietorships and partnerships.
c.
Due to legal considerations related to ownership transfers and limited liability, which affect the ability to
attract capital, most business (measured by dollar sales) is conducted by corporations in spite of large
corporations’ less favorable tax treatment.
d.
Large corporations are taxed more favorably than proprietorships.

44. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a.
A hostile takeover is the main method of transferring ownership interest in a corporation.
b.
A corporation is a legal entity created by a state, and it has a life and existence that is separate from the lives
and existence of its owners and managers.
c.
Unlimited liability and limited life are two key advantages of the corporate form over other forms of business
organization.
d.
Limited liability is an advantage of the corporate form of organization to its owners (stockholders), but
corporations have more trouble raising money in financial markets because of the complexity of this form of
organization.
e.
Although the stockholders of the corporation are insulated by limited legal liability, the legal status of the
corporation does not protect the firm’s managers in the same way, i.e., bondholders can sue the firm’s
managers if the firm defaults on its debt.

In a typical partnership, liability for other partners’ misdeeds is limited to the amount of a particular partner’s
investment in the business.
b.
In a limited partnership, the limited partners have voting control, while the general partner has operating
control over the business, and the limited partners are individually responsible, on a pro rata basis, for the
firm’s debts in the event of bankruptcy.
c.
A slow-growth company, with little need for new capital, would be more likely to organize as a corporation
than would a faster growing company.
d.
Partnerships have more difficulty attracting large amounts of capital than corporations because of such factors
as unlimited liability, the need to reorganize when a partner dies, and the illiquidity (difficulty buying and
selling) of partnership interests.
e.
A major disadvantage of a partnership relative to a corporation is the fact that federal income taxes must be
paid by the partners rather than by the firm itself.

b.
There are many types of unethical business behavior. One example is where executives provide information

but it is not illegal to provide it to stockholders because they are the owners of the firm.
c.
If someone deliberately understates costs and thereby causes reported profits to increase, this can cause the

Ethical behavior is not influenced by training and auditing procedures. People are either ethical or they are not,

a.
Because bankruptcy requires that corporate bondholders be paid in full before stockholders receive anything,
bondholders generally prefer to see corporate managers invest in high risk/high return projects rather than low
risk/low return projects.

Since bondholders receive fixed payments, they do not share in the gains if risky projects turn out to be highly

Therefore, bondholders generally prefer to see corporate managers invest in low risk/low return projects rather
