Correct
Incorrect!
Correct There are a couple of items in the selections above that give this company away as a close corporation. First, the fact that the company only has five shareholders means that it is closely held. Moreover, item 4 in the question says that the company has made no Initial Public Offering (IPO), therefore, the company's shares have not been sold to the public. There is no mention in the question of whether or not the company operates for profit or not, nor does it say that all shareholders are engaged in a professional practice as would be the case in a professional corporation. An S corporation is possible in this case, but the question would likely say that the company had made an S-Corp election (Chapter 2).
