Harmony Yang · Answer 1

d. dissolves immediately unless the partners change its business.

Explanation:

If Congress declares that the equipment that Kim and Lyle's export is not to be exported anymore, then the partnership of Kim and Lyle becomes redundant. In other words, the decision by Congress will drive Kim and Lyle out of business. It will be illegal if Kim and Lyle's partnership continues to export.

Kim and Lyle will have to make a decision. They can either change the type of business or dissolve their partnership. Kim and Lyle will have to decide immediately as the partnership will still incur fixed costs even though they are not operating.
