(C) the termination of the firm's legal existence.
(D) the temporary suspension of the firm's business.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The termination of the firm's legal existence.

Explanation:

General partners are individuals, two or more , who come together to own a business and controls daily activities of the business. Each member has unlimited liability and their action can legally bind the activities of the business. They share profit and losses equally.

According to fact pattern 27-3, if the partners agree to dissolve one of their business line- equity lending as in the case above and the company's assets are shared among the partners, it would result in the termination of the firm's legal existence.

Once there is a breach by any of the partners as contained in the partnership agreement and the partner's asset shared, that is dissolution. The partnership business has therefore been terminated legally and cease to exit.
