2. Why might an investor choose to become a partner in a limited partnership
instead of purchasing the stock of an open corporation? If an investor decided
to join in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock on an open
corporation they would have less to do with the business side as they would in
an open corporation. When an investor joins in a limited partnership they have
less management responsibility and little to no liability besides their initial
investment.

3. Is growth a good thing for all firms? How does management know when a firm
is ready to grow? Growth is not a good thing for all firms. Depending on what a
company is looking to achieve long term, the financial assets they have now to
achieve their growth and other goals are all subject to what the company is
able to do with the finances and staffing they have. When a corporation is
trying to decide whether or not they should grow, management will examine all
aspects of the company to make sure they align with the growth plan.

4. If you were to start a business, which ownership form would you choose? What
factors might affect your choice? If I were to start a business, I would
probably choose a limited liability company (LLC) as the ownership form and
structure. An LLC is where the members within the company are not held personally
liable for the company’s debts or liabilities. Think ownership form works well
if you were to join forces an open up a business with a friend or family member.
An LLC keeps the tax side of the business easier as allowing the individuals to
be self-proprietors. When considering factors that may change this decision
they would include: who I am going in business with, what I am in business for,
my end goals, current goals and current financial status. </span>

The answer is a definite NO. No one should EVER cash in their 401(k) to pay off debt. You will never be able to recover from the loss of compounding interest if you take out money from your retirement account. This money should be saved for retirement or EXTREME emergencies.
Im this case, Austin should take the amount of his raise and use that to start paying down his debt FASTER.
