Great job on your answers! Here's an analysis of each question and why your answers are correct:
1. The employees of Abs "R" Us pooling their resources to purchase the company is an example of a buyout. Specifically, since they are using resources and potentially taking on debt to buy the company, it would be considered a leveraged buyout. So your answer A, leveraged, is correct.
2. The description in this question suggests a hybrid business entity that combines the features of a corporation and a partnership. S-Corporations are a type of corporation that offers limited liability and the ability to pass through taxes, so your answer A is correct.
Well done! Your answers align with the correct explanations for the questions provided.
