Chapter 1
The Corporation
1-1. What is the most important difference between a corporation and all other organizational
forms?
A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners.
N
1-2. What does the phrase limited liability mean in a corporate context?
Owners’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm. Stockholders are not responsible
for any encumbrances of the firm; in particular, they cannot be required to pay back any debts incurred
U
by the firm.
1-3. Which organizational forms give their owners limited liability?
Corporations and limited liability companies give owners limited liability. Limited partnerships
R
provide limited liability for the limited partners, but not for the general partners.
1-4. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of organizing a firm as a corporation?
Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life
SE
Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of ownership and control
1-5. Explain the difference between an S corporation and a C corporation.
C corporations must pay corporate income taxes; S corporations do not pay corporate taxes, but must
pass through the income to shareholders to whom it is taxable. S corporations are also limited to 100
shareholders and cannot have corporate or foreign stockholders.
D
1-6. You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns $2 per share before taxes. Once
it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. The corporate tax
rate is 40% and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is 30%. How
much is left for you after all taxes are paid?
O
First, the corporation pays the taxes. After taxes, $2(1− 0.4) = $1.20 is left to pay dividends. Once
the dividend is paid, personal tax must be paid, which leaves $1.20 (1 − 0.3) = $0.84 . So, after all the
taxes are paid, you are left with 84¢.
C
1-7. Repeat Problem 6 assuming the corporation is an S corporation.
An S corporation does not pay corporate income tax. So it distributes $2 to its stockholders. These
stockholders must then pay personal income tax on the distribution. So they are left with
$2 (1 − 0.3) = $1.40 .
