If a share is sold at a price below its face value, it is sold

Antwortdetails

If a share is sold at a price below its face value, it is sold at a discount. The face value of a share is the amount stated on the share certificate, and it represents the nominal value of the share. Sometimes, due to various reasons such as poor company performance or market conditions, the market value of a share may fall below its face value. When this happens, the share is said to be sold at a discount. For example, if a share has a face value of $10 but is sold for $8, it is being sold at a discount of $2. This means that the buyer is paying less than the face value of the share, and the seller is receiving less money than the nominal value of the share.

Antwortdetails

In a limited partnership, there are two types of partners: limited partners and general partners.

Therefore, the presence of a limited partner does not affect the requirement for at least one ordinary partner to manage the partnership.

A partnership cannot raise its capital by

Antwortdetails

A partnership cannot raise its capital by selling shares to the public. In a partnership, the business is owned by two or more individuals who share the profits and losses of the enterprise.
