Discuss CSI CSC2 Exam Topic 1 Question 13

A business trust would typically purchase the underlying company assets of which type of operation?

ASenior housing

BRestaurants

CIndustrial rentals

DShopping centres

Suggested Answer: B

A business trust typically acquires the operating assets of businesses such as restaurants, which generate predictable and steady cash flows. Business trusts focus on distributing income to unitholders, and restaurant operations align well with this goal due to their recurring revenue models.

Explanation of Options:

A . Senior Housing: More common for real estate investment trusts (REITs), not business trusts.

B . Restaurants: Correct. Restaurants are suitable for business trusts because of their stable cash flow potential.

C . Industrial Rentals: Typically under REITs, not business trusts.

D . Shopping Centres: Also more commonly associated with REITs.
