Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 146
Which type of business is super easy to establish, only gets taxed once but the owner is personally liable for

A sole proprietorship is characterized by its simplicity in formation and single taxation on business income, which
flows directly to the owner's personal tax return; however, the owner assumes unlimited personal liability for all
business debts and obligations, exposing personal assets to risk. This structure highlights the trade-off between
ease of operation and the potential for personal financial exposure.

super easy to establish, only gets taxed once, but the owners are personal liable for everything?
CORRECT ANSWER
Partnership
RATIONALE
A partnership allows for shared management and resources, facilitating a diverse skill set while maintaining
simplicity in formation and single taxation on profits. However, partners retain personal liability for business debts,
exposing their personal assets to risk.

shareholders. This structure not only facilitates investment but also limits personal liability, distinguishing
corporations from other business types.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 146
Which type of business can easily share its ownership and raise capital with no personal liability but gets
taxed twice?
CORRECT ANSWER
Corporation
RATIONALE
A corporation is a distinct legal entity that allows for the separation of ownership and management, facilitating
capital acquisition through stock sales while limiting shareholders' personal liability. However, this structure results
in double taxation, as corporate profits are taxed at the corporate level and again as dividends distributed to
shareholders.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 146
Which is an advantage of corporations relative to partnerships and sole proprietorships?
CORRECT ANSWER
reduced legal liability for investors
RATIONALE
Limited liability protects corporate shareholders from being personally responsible for the company's debts and
obligations, which contrasts with partnerships and sole proprietorships where owners hold full liability. This legal
structure encourages investment by minimizing risk exposure for shareholders.

owners. This separation of entity helps in assessing performance and complying with legal regulations effectively.
