Question

A corporation: Select one: A. Is less costly to organize than a partnership B. Is subject to less regulation and supervision than a partnership C. Is subject to federal income taxes on its earnings, whereas a partnership is not D. Has an owner's capital account for each owner, whereas a partnership does not

Answer 1

Answer:

A corporation:

C. Is subject to federal income taxes on its earnings, whereas a partnership is not.

Explanation:

The other options fit a partnership more than a corporation.  The chief advantages of a corporation over a partnership are the limited liability status of the shareholders of a corporation, which benefits all the shareholders and secondly, the corporation is a separate legal entity from the owners.  This second advantage allows professional managers to lead the company.  With respect to federal income taxes on the earnings, the corporation is taxed directly on its earnings and shareholders also pay taxes on their income from all sources (unless it is an S-corporation), while partners in a partnership enjoy pass-through taxation of their partnership earnings.
