Name: Class: Date:

1. An Overview of Financial Management.
True / False

Note that there is an overlap between the T/F and multiple-choice questions, as some of the T/F statements are used in
multiple-choice questions.

Multiple Choice: True/False


1. In most corporations, the CFO ranks under the CEO.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True

2. The Chairman of the Board must also be the CEO.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False

3. The board of directors is the highest ranking body in a corporation, and the chairman of the board is the highest ranking
individual. The CEO generally works under the board and its chairman, and the board generally has the authority to
remove the CEO under certain conditions. The CEO, however, cannot remove the board, but he or she can endeavor to
have the board voted out and a new board voted in should a conflict arise. It is possible for a person to simultaneously
serve as CEO and chairman of the board, though many corporate control experts believe it is bad to vest both offices in
the same person.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True

4. Partnerships and proprietorships generally have a tax advantage over corporations.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True

5. A disadvantage of the corporate form of organization is that corporate stockholders are more exposed to personal
liabilities in the event of bankruptcy than are investors in a typical partnership.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False

6. An advantage of the corporate form of organization is that corporations are generally less highly regulated than
proprietorships and partnerships.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False

7. Some partners in a partnership may have different rights, privileges, and responsibilities than other partners.
a. True

ethics.
a. True

know is incorrect to banks and to stockholders. It is illegal to provide such information to banks, but it is not illegal to
