Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1Q
The following are some of the important characteristics of the partnership:
- Association of individuals.
- Limited life.
- Co-ownership of property.
Explanation of Solution
- Association of individuals: A partnership is not known by individual names of the partners but is known by its own name. It can acquire property in its name and can sue and be sued by others in its name. It is a legal entity that means it is registered in its name and is a separate entity that is its assets and liabilities are its own and not those of its partners.
- Limited life: The life of partnerships is limited as it ends on the admission, death, retirement, and liquidation of any partner. On each of such occasions the partnership ends and if agreed by partners get renewed.
- Co-ownership of property: All the partners of the partnership jointly own the assets of the partners. On the dissolution of the partnership, the amount realized from the assets is shared by the partners in the agreed ratio.
Conclusion
Thus, the partnership is an association of persons, having a limited life and co-ownership of property.
