  • 2. 

    In the absence of a specific agreement, a partner is not entitled to receive any remuneration form the firm for taking part in the affairs of the firm.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the absence of a specific agreement, a partner is not entitled to receive any remuneration from the firm for taking part in the affairs of the firm. This means that unless there is a clear agreement in place stating otherwise, partners do not have the right to receive any payment or compensation for their involvement in the firm's activities. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which of the following rights, cannot be claimed by a partner as matter of right?

    • Right to share profits

    • Right to receive remuneration

    • Right to take part in business

    • Right to have access to account books.

    Correct Answer
    A. Right to receive remuneration
    Explanation
    A partner cannot claim the right to receive remuneration as a matter of right because partners are not considered employees of the partnership. Unlike employees who are entitled to a fixed salary or wages, partners' income is derived from the profits of the business. The amount of profit each partner receives is determined by the partnership agreement or by the proportion of their investment or contribution to the partnership. Therefore, partners do not have an automatic right to receive a fixed remuneration or salary.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A minor can be admitted to the benefits of an existing form with the consent of

    • All the partners

    • Majority of the partners

    • Managing partner

    • Senior partner.

    Correct Answer
    A. All the partners
    Explanation
    All the partners can admit a minor to the benefits of an existing firm. This means that all the partners must give their consent for the minor to be included in the partnership and enjoy the benefits of the firm. This ensures that all partners are in agreement and have equal say in admitting a minor to the partnership. It also protects the interests of the minor and ensures that their admission is supported by the collective decision of all partners.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The interest to a partner, on the amount of loan advanced by him, is payable even if the firm suffers losses.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In a partnership, partners contribute capital to the firm, which includes loans. The interest on these loans is considered a fixed obligation and is payable regardless of the firm's profitability. This means that even if the firm suffers losses, partners are still entitled to receive interest on the loan amount they advanced. This ensures that partners are compensated for the use of their capital and encourages them to continue investing in the partnership. Therefore, the statement that interest to a partner on a loan is payable even if the firm suffers losses is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Partners duty of good faith cannot be excluded by an agreement to the contrary,

    A. True
    Explanation
    Partners have a legal obligation to act in good faith towards each other in a partnership. This duty of good faith is considered fundamental and cannot be waived or excluded by any agreement between the partners. Therefore, the statement that the partner's duty of good faith cannot be excluded by an agreement to the contrary is true.

    A partner is liable to account for personal profits when they make such profits from the use of the property of the firm, the name of the firm, or the business connection of the firm. In other words, if a partner uses any of these resources for personal gain, they are obligated to share those profits with the firm. Therefore, the correct answer is that a partner is liable to account for personal profits in all of these situations.

    Explanation
    The 'fundamental matters' mentioned in the question refer to decisions that can be made with the agreement of all partners. These matters include altering the business, adding something new to the business, and admitting a new partner.

    Correct Answer
    A. All matters affecting the business of the firm.
    Explanation
    Partners in a business have the right to be consulted in all matters affecting the business of the firm. This means that any decision or action that could have an impact on the business, such as financial decisions, major contracts, or changes in operations, should be discussed and agreed upon by all partners. This ensures that all partners have a say in the direction and management of the business and helps to maintain transparency and fairness in decision-making.

    • Only (b).

    Correct Answer
    A. Both (a) and (b).
    Explanation
    Both actual authority and implied authority are duties that every partner must act within the scope of. Actual authority refers to the explicit powers and responsibilities that are given to a partner through the partnership agreement or by the other partners. Implied authority, on the other hand, refers to the authority that is reasonably necessary to carry out the partner's duties and responsibilities. Therefore, every partner must adhere to both actual and implied authority in order to fulfill their duties within the partnership.

    • True

    • False

    Explanation
    In the absence of any agreement, partners are not entitled to receive any interest on their contribution towards capital. This means that if there is no specific agreement or provision in the partnership agreement stating otherwise, partners will not receive any interest on the capital they contribute to the partnership. This is a general principle in partnership law where partners are only entitled to a share of the profits, not interest on their capital contributions. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    • Receive remuneration

    • Share profits

    • Take part in business

    • Have access to account books

    Correct Answer
    A. Receive remuneration
    Explanation
    A partner does not have an automatic right to receive remuneration from the partnership. While partners may agree to receive a salary or other forms of payment, it is not a guaranteed entitlement. In a partnership, profits are typically shared among the partners, and all partners have the right to take part in the business and have access to account books. However, the right to receive remuneration is not automatically granted to a partner.

    A. Both of these.
    Explanation
    Every partner has a duty to not carry on any business similar to or competing with that of the firm. This means that partners are expected to avoid engaging in any activities that could directly compete with the firm's business or create conflicts of interest. By doing so, partners can ensure that they are fully committed to the success and growth of the firm, without diverting their attention or resources to competing ventures. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both of these."

    Rate this question:

    • Both of these

    • None of these.

    Correct Answer
    A. Both of these
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Both of these." This means that every partner has the duty to use partnership property exclusively for the firm's business and to account for any personal profits made by using partnership property. In other words, partners are obligated to use the assets of the partnership solely for the benefit of the business and not for personal gain. Additionally, they must be transparent and accountable for any personal gains they may have obtained through the use of partnership property.

    Correct Answer
    A. An existing firm only
    Explanation
    A minor can be admitted to the benefits of an existing firm with the consent of all partners. This means that if all partners agree, a minor can become a beneficiary of the profits and other benefits of an already established firm. However, this provision does not apply to new firms, registered firms, or unregistered firms.

This ensures that all partners have a say in the decision-making process and that their interests are protected.

They also have the right to access and inspect the accounts of the firm, allowing them to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, they can sue the firm if necessary to claim their share of property or profits. Therefore, all of the options mentioned are correct, as the minor is entitled to these rights.

    Explanation
    Partners of a firm have the right to recover expenses incurred in both the ordinary course of business and in emergencies to protect the firm's property. This means that if a partner spends money on regular business expenses or on emergency situations to safeguard the firm's assets, they can seek reimbursement from the firm. The firm is responsible for covering these expenses as they are necessary for the smooth operation and protection of the business.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    A minor partner can file a suit against the firm for his share of property of profits only after leaving the firm,

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A minor partner is someone who is under the legal age of majority and lacks the capacity to enter into contracts. In most jurisdictions, minors cannot be held personally liable for the debts or obligations of a partnership. Therefore, a minor partner can only file a suit against the firm for their share of property or profits after leaving the firm, as they are not legally bound to continue their partnership obligations. This is why the statement "A minor partner can file a suit against the firm for his share of property or profits only after leaving the firm" is true.

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is true because according to the statement, a partner may be allowed to carry on any business, even if it competes with the business of the firm, as long as there is an agreement in place that states otherwise. This means that the partner's duty to account for the profits of a competing business can be waived or modified through an agreement between the partners. Therefore, the answer is true.

    The duty to indemnify for loss caused by partner's fraud is an absolute duty of a partner and cannot be excluded by an agreement to the contrary. This means that regardless of any agreement made between partners, if one partner engages in fraudulent activities that result in loss, they are obligated to compensate the other partners for the damages caused. This duty is considered fundamental and cannot be waived or ignored.

    • False, as partners may agree to share losses in different proportions.

    Correct Answer
    A. False, as partners may agree to share losses in different proportions.
    Explanation
    The statement is false because partners may agree to share losses in different proportions. In a partnership, the distribution of losses can be determined by the partnership agreement. Partners may choose to allocate losses based on their capital contributions or other agreed-upon terms. Therefore, it is not necessary for partners to share losses equally.

    Correct Answer
    A. True, as it is the legal position on the point.
    Explanation
    The statement is true because according to the legal position, a minor can be admitted to the benefits of an existing firm but not in a new firm. This means that a minor can receive the advantages and profits of an already established firm, but cannot become a partner or have any legal obligations in a new firm. The legal system recognizes the need to protect minors from the potential risks and responsibilities that come with starting a new business.

    A. Section 16(b).
    Explanation
    Section 16(b) states that if a partner makes any profits by carrying on a competing business, he is liable to account for the same. This means that if a partner engages in a business that competes with the partnership, any profits made from that business must be shared with the partnership. Section 16(b) ensures that partners do not unfairly benefit from engaging in competing activities and promotes fairness and accountability within the partnership.

This ensures that the capital remains intact and is not reduced by the payment of interest.
