As a result, the costs on average are lower or them per transaction as opposed to traders executing with lower volumes.

Q 1.1: An owner who wants to have limited liability should form which type of business enterprise?

ycow [4]

Answer:

A corporation

Explanation:

A business is an agency–typically a group of individuals or a firm–allowed by the government to operate as a single body (a legal entity) and recognized as being for other functions of law.

Early constituted institutions were created by charter (i.e. through an arbitrary act issued by a sovereign or enacted by a statute or house of commons).

Corporations come in various forms but are typically separated by the statute of authority in which they are subcontracted on the grounds of two dimensions: that they are willing to issue securities or if they are founded to turn a profit.
