Explanation of Solution

Sole proprietorship: The form of business entity which is owned and managed by an individual is referred to as sole proprietorship.

  • Neither the house nor the mortgage will appear in the financial statements of Company H. The house is a personal asset of Person H, and not an asset used in the business.
  • Likewise, the mortgage is a personal liability, not a debt incurred by the business entity. The business entity principle requires that a business entity is regarded as separate from the other affairs of its owner(s).
