Lisa is a limited partner in a limited partnership. Jen, one of the other limited partners, is seeking to sell her interest in the partnership to Karen and allow Karen to become a new limited partner. Which of the following statements is true?
Choice 'd' is correct. Limited partners have the right to vote on the transfer of interest and admission of a new partner. Admission of a new partner requires unanimous consent.
Choice 'a' is incorrect. A limited partner who acts as a general partner loses her limited liability status to those she acted as a general partner towards.
Choice 'b' is incorrect. Partners can freely transfer their interests in profits and losses to third parties, but the third party cannot become a limited partner without the unanimous consent of the other partners.
Choice 'c' is incorrect. Limited partners must give 6 months notice of withdrawal in absence of an agreement to the contrary.
Considering the SCOR Model of supply chain operations, which of the following key management processes does collecting and processing vendor payments fall into?
Choice 'b' is correct. Once demand has been planned, it is necessary to procure the resources required to meet it and to manage the infrastructure that exists for the sources. Collecting and processing vendor payments falls into the 'source' process.
Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are incorrect, per the above Explanation: .
Osgood Products has announced that it plans to finance future investments so that the firm will achieve an optimum capital structure. Which one of the following corporate objectives is consistent with the announcement?
Choice 'c' is correct. The optimal capital structure is the financial structure that would theoretically maximize shareholder wealth by maximizing the net worth of the company.
Choices 'a', 'b', and 'd' are incorrect. Strategies (not objectives) for creating an optimal capital structure to maximize net worth include:
1. Maximizing earnings per share (choice 'a').
2. Minimizing the cost of debt (choice 'b').
3. Minimizing the cost of equity (choice 'd').
4. Maximizing cash flow (choice not given).
A city ordinance that freezes rent prices may cause:
Choice 'c' is correct. A city ordinance that freezes rent prices (such as rent control and rent stabilization in New York City) may cause the quantity demanded for rental space to exceed the quantity supplied.
This occurs if the rent controlled price is set below the market clearing price. At the controlled price, the quantity supplied will be constrained due to the low rent prices for the rent-controlled and rent-stabilized properties; builders will not want to build and rent properties for less than they are worth on the open market. The quantity demanded for the rental space will still be artificially high due to the city ordinance, which sets the controlled price below the market price. Thus, the quantity demanded will exceed the quantity supplied. New York City rent control is a perfect example of the effect of a price ceiling and the problems that it can cause.
Choice 'a' is incorrect. A city ordinance that freezes rent prices will not cause the demand curve for rental space to fall. Price changes cause movements along the demand curve, not shifts in the demand curve.
Choice 'b' is incorrect. A city ordinance that freezes rent prices will not cause the supply curve for rental space to rise. Price changes cause movements along the supply curve, not shifts in the supply curve.
Choice 'd' is incorrect. A city ordinance that freezes rent prices will not cause the quantity supplied to exceed the quantity demanded. This choice is backwards.
The apparent authority of a partner to bind the partnership in dealing with third parties:
Choice 'a' is correct. This is really an agency question on apparent authority. Apparent authority is authority that a third party reasonably believes an agent has. If the third party is aware of a restriction on the agent's authority, the third party cannot reasonably believe that the agent has the restricted authority.
Choice 'b' is incorrect. A formal resolution of the partners will not be effective to destroy authority if a third party is aware of the resolution, but not if the third party is unaware of the resolution.
Choice 'c' is incorrect. Submitting a claim to arbitration is an extraordinary act. A partner has apparent authority only to enter into transactions apparently carrying on in the usual way the business of the partnership. There is no apparent authority to enter into an extraordinary transaction.
Choice 'd' is incorrect. Apparent authority is derived from what a reasonable person believes concerning the authority of a partner based on the partnership's actions toward the third party; authority derived from the express powers and purposes contained in the partnership agreement is actual authority.
