According to Adam Smith – “Profit is that magic which can turn selfishness of man into useful services. Therefore, it is clear that if the business won’t earn profit then people won’t be able to get goods and services.” Profit is counted foremost because of these reasons: 1. Profit is motivation – Every person enters into business with profit motive only. They fulfil their needs through profit only. Profit is that element which motivates the businessman for any activity.

Explain partnership and state its features. |
|
Answer» Partnership: A partnership was born to eliminate the defects/disadvantages of a sole trader. It works with huge investment. (1) Haney has given a suitable definition of partnership in simple words. According to him, “Partnership is the relationship between persons who agree to carry on a business in common, with a view to private gain.” (2) According to the American Partnership Act – “Partnership is the association of two or more persons who carry on a business for profits as co-owners.” (3) Indian Partnership Act, 1933, Section 4 – “The relation between persons who have agreed to share profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all.” In the end, we can say that partnership is an association of two or more persons, to carry on a business. The partners collectively provide capital, manage the business and equally share the profit or loss of the business. The persons who enter into partnership for mutual sharing of profits are individually called partners and collectively called partnership firm and the name under which they run their business is known as ‘Name of the Firm.’ Features of Partnership. Following are the features of partnership: 1. Formation – The partnership is formed under Indian Partnership Act of 1932, with a lawful contractual agreement. It includes the relation between the partners, their share of the ratio of profit and loss, etc. The partnership is formed for attaining profit and lawful activities, not for charitable service or unlawful business activities. 2. Unlimited liability – The partners in this form of business are liable to repay the debts even from their personal resources in case the firm is not efficient to meet its debts, which creates a risk to their personal property. 3. Decision Making and Control – The activities of the partnership firm are controlled and managed through the joint effort of all partners. Decisions are generally taken by mutual consent. 4. Continuity – These is a lack of continuity in a partnership firm because if a partner dies, becomes lunatic, retires, then partnership dissolves. After that, the remaining partners can form a new partnership firm. 5. Number of Members – Partnership should at least have 2 members, for Banking, the maximum partners should be 10 and for other businesses, it should be 20. 6. Mutual agency – Partnership can be run either by all its partners or by one single partner who can run all the business. Therefore, every partner is an agent as well as the owner. |

“Sole trade is best among the world if the trader is skilled enough to handle all the business-related tasks and responsibilities. Elucidate this and also state its limitations. Or State the disadvantages of a sole trader. |
|
Answer» Due to various benefits, sole trade is the foremost outlay of business, because, in sole trading, the business is run by a single individual who takes care of his business, establishes its secrecy and his/her quick decision-making capacity can help in increasing the proficiency of the business. It is only possible when the trader is very skilled and the size of the business is small. There are very skilled persons present nowadays. That is why the business of big level having more challenge is not possible to be run by a single individual. Therefore, the quote by Prof. William K. Was that “Sole trading is the most proficient business if the trader can take control of everything all by himself” is true till certain limits only. For the lower-level business, that requires less investment and that can be run by a lesser skilled person, this statement is also true, but this statement also has some limitations for that it cannot be a choice of formation for every type of business. The limitations are: 1. Small Size – The sole trading is suitable only when the size of the business is small. There is a limit of every person to do work. A single individual alone cannot handle a large scale business. Therefore, this business should only be adopted when the size of the business is small. 2. Limited Capital – There is a limit of investment and loan of every person. He alone cannot arrange a large investment. Therefore for the type of business that requires a lot of investment, this business is not a suitable option. 3. Unlimited Liability – In sole trading, the liability of the trader is unlimited. If a business faces any loss, then his personal property can also be sold, which can make him totally insolvent. Therefore, it is not suitable in case of more risk. 4. Limited Life Span – A sole trader is not separate from his business. If the trader dies or becomes lunatic, sick etc. then the business may totally stop. Therefore, for a limited life span, this business is not a suitable option. 5. Limited Managerial Ability – Sole trade suffers from the limited managerial ability. The owner has to assume the responsibility of varied managerial tasks such as purchasing, marketing, etc. which may not be balanced in all the cases. Limited managerial capacity can hinder the growth of business activities. |

|
Answer» HIV attacks the helper-T cells inside the host cell, viral RNA syntheses single-stranded DNA on it in the presence of enzyme reverse transcriptase. Single-stranded DNA separates from viral RNA and forms its complimentary copy to form double-stranded DNA which is incorporated into hosts cell DNA. The viral DNA transcribes large number of RNA particles, each of which gets surrounded by a proteinous capsid to complete viral particles. Finally, the host helper T- cell is lysed and many HIV viruses are released. Each of these infects new Helper T-cells. So there is progressive decrease in the number of Helper-T- cells. |
