...involved in the management and day-to-day operations of the venture. In some jurisdictions, partnerships enjoy favourable tax treatment relative to corporations. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/partnership.asp#ixzz49Y975kkP Types of Partnership A partnership is a business owned by two or more people. In most forms of partnerships, each partner has unlimited liability for the debts incurred by the business. The three typical classifications of for-profit partnerships are general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships. 1. General Partnership: Partners divide responsibility for management and liability as well as the shares of profit or loss according to their internal agreement. Equal shares are assumed unless there is a written agreement that states differently. A general partnership involves two or more owners carrying out a business purpose. General partners share equal rights and responsibilities in connection with management of the business, and any individual partner can bind the entire group to a legal obligation. Each individual partner assumes full responsibility for all of the business's debts and obligations. Although such personal liability is daunting, it comes with a tax advantage: partnership profits are not taxed to the business, but pass through to the partners, who include the gains on their individual tax returns at a lower rate. http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/incorporation-and-legal-structures/types-of-partnerships.html#sthash...

...Global Antitrust Review 2014 163 The Assessment of Selective Distribution Systems Post-Pierre Fabre CRISTIANA DE FAVERI This article develops an analysis of selective distribution systems, which considers their main characteristics, the traditional principles governing their discipline and the recent evolution of the jurisprudence of the European Courts. In the Pierre Fabre case, the Court seems to have changed its approach to the subject, as, analysing a ‘de facto’ ban on online sales, it passed from the traditional ‘effects’ analysis of these systems to their qualification as restrictions ‘by object unless objectively justified’. The legal result is unaltered as the usual criteria of competition analysis are still adopted, but new perspectives could have been potentially opened in their interpretation. Furthermore, the article also takes into account the Court’s assertion that ‘the aim of maintaining a prestigious image is not a legitimate aim for restricting competition’, which represents another aspect of the judgment in apparent contrast with the settled case law. In both instances, it presents possible explanations consistent with the tradition. Finally, it underlines the significance of the ruling in relation to the controversial topic of internet selling. I. Introduction The topic of selective distribution systems has been explored in many authoritative academic works.1 Yet, it is still important and highly debated, not only because 1 ...

...ABSTRACT This paper aims to describe the particular market for ticket events and analyse the evolution of some regulatory and non-regulatory solutions developed to control the expansion of secondary ticketing and ticket-scalping practices and, in particular, it tries to investigate how the increasing adoption of internet as a re-selling channel is imposing big changes in the legislation and how all this is challenging the old approach of regulators to this specific market. The paper, supported by some theoretical economic considerations, also tries to establish whether ticket re-selling practices create significant problems to consumers or other involved players and explores the welfare effects, cost and effectiveness of regulatory and non-regulatory decisions on promoters, ticket-scalpers and consumers. __________________________________ INTRODUCTION Scalping is defined as ‘the practice of selling some-thing (in our case tickets) at a price above face value once it becomes scarce (usually just before a high-demand event begins)’ (Black-Law Dictionary). For decades, ticket scalping has been considered a controversial activity, and many anti-scalping laws have been developed and suggested from many different countries in order to try to reduce and regulate the practice of re-selling tickets and the subsequent emergence of a secondary market for tickets. What it is noticeable is that this widespread hostility toward ticket scalping seems in open contrast...

...DISCUSSION OF SAB 101 Q & A Definition of Revenue (FASB Concepts Statement No. 6): Inflows or other enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivery or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operations. Separate definition for Gains Guidelines for Revenue Recognition The revenue recognition principle (FASB Concept Stmt. No. 5) provides that companies should recognize revenue 1) when it is realized or realizable and 2) when it is earned. Revenues are realized when goods and services are exchanged for cash or claims to cash (receivables). Revenues are realizable when assets received in exchange are readily convertible to known amounts of cash or claims to cash. Revenues are earned when the entity has substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues, that is, when the earnings process is complete or virtually complete. Revenue Recognition Issues Usually revenue is recognized at the point of sale because most of the uncertainties related to the earning process are removed and the exchange price is known. But, the earning process itself is not defined precisely anywhere in the authoritative literature. More importantly, an entity's earnings process(es) is (are) determined by its business model(s) and the number of business models can grow...
