Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a general partnership, management decisions are typically made by a majority of the partners. In this case, since there are five partners, a majority would mean at least three of the partners must agree. Tony's one-third interest does not give him the power to rule, nor does the fact that some partners have a larger ownership interest than others. The senior partner also does not have any special decision-making authority unless this was agreed upon by all partners in advance. Therefore, the best choice is A.
