Chapter 1
The Corporation

1-1. What is the most important difference between a corporation and all other organizational
forms?
A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners.

1-2. What does the phrase limited liability mean in a corporate context?
Owners’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm. Stockholders are not responsible
for any encumbrances of the firm; in particular, they cannot be required to pay back any debts incurred
by the firm.

1-3. Which organizational forms give their owners limited liability?
Corporations and limited liability companies give owners limited liability. Limited partnerships
provide limited liability for the limited partners, but not for the general partners.

1-4. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of organizing a firm as a corporation?
Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life
Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of ownership and control

1-5. Explain the difference between an S corporation and a C corporation.
C corporations must pay corporate income taxes; S corporations do not pay corporate taxes, but must
pass through the income to shareholders to whom it is taxable. S corporations are also limited to 100
shareholders and cannot have corporate or foreign stockholders.

1-6. You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns $2 per share before taxes. Once
it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. The corporate tax
rate is 40% and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is 30%. How
much is left for you after all taxes are paid?
First, the corporation pays the taxes. After taxes, $2 ´ (1 - 0.4) = $1.20 is left to pay dividends. Once
the dividend is paid, personal tax must be paid, which leaves $1.20 ´ (1 - 0.3) = $0.84 . So, after all the
taxes are paid, you are left with 84¢.

1-7. Repeat Problem 6 assuming the corporation is an S corporation.
An S corporation does not pay corporate income tax. So it distributes $2 to its stockholders. These
stockholders must then pay personal income tax on the distribution. So they are left with
$2 ´ (1 - 0.3) = $1.40 .
