Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Choice 'c' is correct. The most logical sequence in planning and controlling capital expenditures is to begin with identifying capital addition projects and other capital needs.

Choice 'a' is incorrect. Analyzing capital addition proposals omits other capital needs.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. Analyzing and evaluating all promising alternatives is beyond the scope of planning and controlling capital expenditures.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. Developing capital budgets is the same as planning and controlling capital expenditures.

Ah, the joys of partnership law. I'm just hoping I don't have to deal with any 'apparent authority' issues in my future business ventures. Option D sounds like the safest bet here.

Haha, if only we could just randomly pick answers and get them right! But in this case, I think D is the way to go. Gotta stick to the partnership agreement, you know?

C is an interesting choice, but I don't believe it's the correct answer here. Submitting a claim to arbitration doesn't seem directly related to the question of apparent authority.

Option B seems tricky, but I don't think that's the right answer. The third parties need to be aware of the formal resolution in order for it to effectively limit the partner's authority.

I think option D is the correct answer. The partner's authority must be derived from the partnership agreement, not just a formal resolution that third parties may not be aware of.
