Distinguishing Ownership in a Family Business Scenario

The Chen family has run a small bakery for generations. Initially, the bakery building and all its inventory were owned directly by the family. Recently, the family decided to formally incorporate the business as 'Chen Bakes Inc.' They transferred ownership of the inventory to the new corporation but kept the building under the family's name, leasing it to the corporation. The eldest son, who is the CEO, also uses his personal car for business deliveries. Analyze this scenario by identifying at least three distinct assets (the building, the inventory, the car) and explaining which non-governmental entity holds the private property rights for each. Justify your reasoning for each asset.
