Partnership Income & Losses through to the Partners so there is NO Entity Level Taxation. You can transfer Property into a Partnership at any time with NO tax consequences. There is no 80% Rule!! Only exception to this would be:

Liability All liabilities are the responsibility of each partner. In the event of litigation, any creditors can go after the personal assets of each partner to recover any debt owed. But since liability is spread out between the owners, one may feel less risk is being taken. 2. Income Taxes General partnership may also benefit from pass-through taxation, meaning the partners are taxed like sole proprietors. Business income is reported on the personal tax filing while business losses can be deducted to reduce personal tax liability. The partnership itself is not subject to federal income tax. However the partnership needs to file an information return utilizing the IRS Form 1065. 3. Longevity or continuity of the organization Once the partnership agreement is fulfilled, the general partnership may dissolve. A buy/sell agreement may be included in the articles of the partnership to allow the

Longevity/Continuity- The death or absence of the general partner will dissolve the partnership unless stated in a prior agreement. The death or absence of a limited partner will not dissolve the partnership but the shares of the limited partner will belong to their estate.

Longevity/Continuity- The partnership would keep operating outside of the limited partner's death, as per usual, however, if a general partner dies, and the agreement hasn't covered the possibility of their death and also agreed that the business will keep running past the death of a general partner, the partnership will immediately dissolve.

| The partners are jointly and severally liable for business debts and obligations. The partners are held personally responsible for the business and may be sued personally for liability. Partners’ personal assets are subject to lawsuit(s) made against the business. Lack of continuity; death of a partner may end the partnership/business if a buy/sell agreement is not in place. Disagreements may be difficult to resolve.

Even if the term of the Partnership has not expired, the Partnership may terminate by: (a) Unanimous agreement of the Partners; or (b) If Can Do becomes significantly incapacited; or (c) Election of a Partner when another Partner has breached this agreement.

Due to its nature, partnership is generally liable for the acts of the individual partners if committed in the course of the partnership business. However, liabilities of every partner may be regulated by the written agreement signed by partners. If no written agreement is signed by partners, liabilities of the partnership are regulated by the Partnership Act. If one of the partners retires, he or she may not be liable for the future debts of partnership if an official notice of the change is sent to creditors and the public. However, there were no official notice sent by the partners in the case; therefore, Toby may be liable for the debts of partnership. Due to the death of the third partner, partnership may be dissolved. In order to pay off the debts, assets should be sold and partners are free to continue the same kind of business after the dissolution of the

One of the important aspects of business management is having a proper compensation system. Compensation ensures that the staff of the company obtains the results of their efforts. Compensation is a cost to the enterprise and, therefore, a proper remuneration model must demonstrate its ability to produce returns. Also, since compensation is what the employees get in exchange for their services, the type used must be one that will motivate the employees (Belcourt & McBey, 2015). Henderson printing company is a mid-level company. Therefore, it requires a very critical remuneration system that will help it to survive. This memo explores the compensation models that Henderson printing operates as well as suggests the necessary changes.

Suppose that Katherine, Brianna, and Paige have formed a limited partnership to operate a video arcade. Katherine is the general partner. She has contributed $2,000 and her time to get the operation running. Brianna and Paige, the limited partners, have each contributed $3,000. After one year of operation, the arcade has debts of $10,000, and the three partners decide to discontinue their business and the limited partnership. Brianna and Paige want their investment returned to them. Who should Katherine, who is winding up the business, pay first, Brianna and Paige, or the creditors? How much will Brianna and Paige receive? How about Katherine?

1. Sullivan & Cromwell associates are likely to find the pay structure fair. Likely comparisons would be with similar positions at other law firms at similar locations.

Furthermore, the company is very forthcoming with its pay structure, offering a complete and thorough display of its pay structure for different positions online (Glassdoor, 2012). Some salaries are offered per year, while others are offered on an hourly basis. A 6th-year attorney, for example, is paid on an annual basis, while a paralegal associate would be paid per hour. Salaries are also varied according to the complexity and seniority level of the position.
