Mindy Feldkamp and her two colleagues

ACCOUNTING



pg 724-725



1. Mindy Feldkamp and her two colleagues, Oscar Lopez and Lori Melton, are personal trainers at an upscale health spa/resort in Tampa, Florida. They want to start a health club that specializes in health plans for people in the 50 + age range. The growing population in this age range and strong consumer interest in the health benefits of physical activity have convinced them they can profitably operate their own club. In addition to many other decisions, they need to determine what type of business organization they want. Oscar believes there are more advantages to the corporate form than a partnership, but he hasn't yet convinced Mindy and Lori. They have come to you, a small business consulting specialist, seeking information and advice regarding the choice of starting a partnership versus a corporation.



a) Prepare a memo (dated May 26, 2009) that describes the advantages and disadvantages of both partnerships and corporations. Advise Mindy, Oscar and Lori regarding which organizational form you believe would better serve their purposes. Make sure to include reasons supporting your advice.
