Types of ownershipSole proprietorship-
One individual or married couple own business. This is most common form.
General Partnership-
2 or more persons who agree to contribute money, labor, and skills to a business.
Limited partnership-
Usually has one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. General partners share in profits and losses but limited partners share profits but only suffer losses to the extent of their investment.
Limited liability partnership-
Like a general partnership, only one partner has no liability for the other.
These are the first we will cover! There will be more! Dun dun dun!!!

LIFO AND FIFO
LIFO-
Last in first out- This means that that the most recently produced items are recorded as sold first. Using this method can reduce income taxes during inflation:
FIFO-
First in first out- This simply means that the oldest inventory items are recorded as sold first.
