Jerry Kerwin is confused about the partnership characteristics of (a) mutual agency and (b) unlimited liability. Explain these two characteristics for Jerry. a. Mutual Agency The business of partnership may be carried on by all the partners or by any of them acting for all. Thus every partner is an agent of other partners and at the same time of the firm. b. Unlimited Liability The unlimited liability of partners is the legal relationship among general partners of a partnership that makes each general partner responsible for paying all the debts of the partnership if the other partners are unable to pay their shares. 11. Are the financial statements of a partnership similar to those of a proprietorship? Discuss! Yes, the differences are due to the number of owners involved. The income statement for a partnership is identical to the income statement for a proprietorship except for the division of net income. 12. How does the liquidation of a partnership differ from the dissolution of a partnership? Liquidation is the process of converting all assets into cash. Proceeds of which will be used to pay-out its obligations in the order set-out by the standards/court. Whereas partnership dissolution occurs whenever a partner withdraws or a new partner is admitted. Dissolution doesnt necessarily mean that the business ends.
