1. (TCO A) Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

(Points : 10) It is generally more expensive to form a proprietorship than a corporation becau se, with a proprietorship, extensive legal documents are required. Corporations face fewer regulations than sole proprietorships. One disadvantage of operating a business as a sole proprietorship is that the fi rm is subject to double taxation, at both the firm level and the owner level. One advantage of forming a corporation is that equity investors are usually expo sed to less liability than in a regular partnership. If a regular partnership goes bankrupt, each partner is exposed to liabilities o nly up to the amount of his or her investment in the business. 2.

(Points : 10) If a bond is selling at a discount, the yield to call is a better measure of ret urn than the yield to maturity. On an expected yield basis, the expected capital gains yield will always be posi tive because an investor would not purchase a bond with an expected capital loss . On an expected yield basis, the expected current yield will always be positive b ecause an investor would not purchase a bond that is not expected to pay any cas h coupon interest. If a coupon bond is selling at par, its current yield equals its yield to maturi ty. The current yield on Bond A exceeds the current yield on Bond B; therefore, Bond A must have a higher yield to maturity than Bond B. 8.
