Question

A. limited partnership
B. combined general partnership
C. cooperative partnership
D. master limited partnership

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": master limited partnership.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Master Limited Partnership or MLP is a publicly-traded partnership in which the limited partnership interest is traded in much the same way as the corporate shares. In an MLP there are two groups of partners: the general partner -holding a small percentage- and the limited partners -controlling most of the partnership. The limited partners pay MLP revenue taxes on their personal income tax returns.
