Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": board of directors ties the salaries of management exclusively to the profits of the firm.

Explanation:

Principal-agent problems arise when a principal hires an agent to perform duties that conflict with the agent's best interest. The problem typically occurs when the principal provides incentives to act in the principal's interest but not the agent, generating a conflictive agenda.

In that case, if the boards of directors tie the salaries of management according to the profits of the firm, they will be acting on their own interest but not in the interest of the managers, making option "B" to represent a typical principal-agent problem.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

C. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs

Explanation:

Because of uncertainty about future inflation, it may not uncertain relative to its price change. Therefore, option A is not correct.

In order to maximize financial position, inflation harms borrowers and helps lenders, so option B is also incorrect.

Option C is correct because variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs in order to maximize the financial position. For example, if the inflation rate is 5% during first quarter, the price level is not much to disrupt the financial position. Again, in the next quarter, if the inflation rate changes to 4%, the position will be effective more. However, if it increases, it will not affect too much.

Sonny's BBQ Company recently issued $85 par value preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of $9. Analysts estimate that the

Bond [772]

Answer:

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.

According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

So will need to work out the cost of equity using CAPM

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c

This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.4%, Rm- 12.1% β- 1.01

E(r) = 2.4% + 1.23×(12.1- 2.4)% = 12.20 %

Cost of preferred stock= 12.20 %

Using the dividend valuation model

Intrinsic value = 9/0.1220=73.77

Intrinsic value=$73.77
