Dale claims that he owns the business and Frances is an employee. Frances believes she and Dale are partners. Are Frances and Dale partners? Explain. (b) Elwood, a bachelor, inherited a farm from his father in 1980. Soon thereafter, he and his sister Nora moved into the farmhouse and began farming operations.

On several occasions in discussion with friends, Elwood referred to Nora as his partner. Are Elwood and Nora partners? Explain. ocery
