    What is a certificate that represents part of a company and shows that the person who owns the certificate is a partial owner in the company?

    Explanation
    A stock is a certificate that represents part ownership in a company. When someone owns a stock, it means they have a share of ownership in that company.

Therefore, a stock is a certificate that shows the person who owns it is a partial owner in the company.

    A corporation is a firm owned by stockholders that has three characteristics: legal existence, limited liability, and continuity of existence. Legal existence means that a corporation is recognized as a separate legal entity from its owners.
