Question

Derivative stakeholders are those from whom the corporation has not accepted benefits, but they hold power over the corporation and may exert either a beneficial or harmful influence.

a) True

b) False

Answer 1

Derivative stakeholders, as described in the statement, do not exist. The correct answer is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Derivative stakeholders are those from whom the corporation has not accepted benefits, but they hold power over the corporation and may exert either a beneficial or harmful influence' is False.

According to the information provided, stakeholders include individuals who have a 'stake' or interest in a business's operations, and they can be anyone affected by the business. Shareholders, on the other hand, are a specific group of individuals who have invested capital and own a portion of the corporation. While shareholders are a type of stakeholder, not all stakeholders are shareholders. Therefore, derivative stakeholders, as described in the statement, do not exist.
