After Spending a Summer "Down Under," Two Oregon Friends, Rick

question 318

True/False

After spending a summer "down under," two Oregon friends, Rick and Mick, created a general partnership to import emu from Australia to the U.S. After a year, Rick found himself at the mercy of Mick, who seemed to keep the books and seldom share the financial results, even though Rick was out selling the emu idea to farmers and ecologically conscious consumers and shipments were increasing. As their consultant, one of the first things that you inquire about is whether they are familiar with the UPA (Uniform Partnership Act), specifically the right to participate in managing the operations of the business.
