SOLUTION  

Hello, Class 

What liability does Farah face as a result of the theft? 

When two or more individuals agree to work together as company owners, each contributing money, property, or services, they form a partnership. You may form a partnership in one of three ways: as a limited partnership (LP), a general partnership (GP), or a limited liability partnership (LLP) (Franklin et al., 2020). In this case, the business structure is a general partnership in which the members’ assets would be used to satisfy the partnership’s debts in the event of insolvency.…..please click the icon below to purchase the solution at $5
