Receipts (money in): Checks: $650.00, Cash $500.00 Expenditures (money out): Gas and oil for delivery vehicle $75.98, supplies $477.50, salaries $380.00, and miscellaneous expenditures $123.76.

Question 2 Sole proprietorship is the most popular form of business ownership, yet very few large businesses are sole proprietorships. Give at least two reasons to explain this. Sole proprietorships have the expertise of only the owner to call on. For example, the owner may be a great accountant but only a fair salesperson. The business has the promise of only one owner to use to try to secure money from investors or lenders. The owner bears all of the risk of loss, or unlimited liability. The owner could lose personal equity if the business fails. The most talented potential employees would tend to prefer the job security of working in larger firms. Glencoe Accounting
