The partnership’s purpose is to purchase from Stern accounts receivable that have an average collection period of 90 days and hold them to collection. The partnership borrows cash from Midtown Bank and purchases the receivables without recourse but at an amount equal to the expected percent to be collected, less a financing fee of 4 percent of the gross receivables. Stern and Ram hold 25 percent and 75 percent of the ownership of the partnership, respectively, and Stern guarantees both the bank loan made to the partnership and a 25 percent annual return on the investment made by Ram. Stern receives any income in excess of the 25 percent return guaranteed to Ram. The partnership agreement provides Stern total control over the partnership’s activities.
