Answer:

D. Unlimited liability

Explanation:

A sole proprietorship is a business owned by a single person who, unlike associations and other more complex business structures (corporations and LLC), does not have to register with the state to exist. If you are the sole owner of a business, you automatically have a sole proprietorship simply because you do business.

A sole proprietorship also has disadvantages. The biggest problem of sole proprietorships is that the owner's personal finances are linked to those of the business. This means that if the business suffers bankruptcy, the same happens to the owner so you have unlimited liability. Therefore, forming a sole proprietorship is more risky. The same happens if the business is sued: the lawsuit also falls against you (which means that you are responsible for all costs associated with the litigation). Sole proprietorships, on the other hand, must pay both income taxes and self-employed employee taxes (Social Security and Medicare). This means that, as the company generates more profits, it must also pay more taxes.

An issuer decides to call in an outstanding bond issue under the terms detailed in the bond resolution because interest rates ha
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

An optional Call

Explanation:

Callable Bond

Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.

Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.

For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.

Optional Call

In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.

Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.

Nady [450]
