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.

The correct answer is d. management does not own a large share of firm stock and pursues its own interests rather than those of shareholders.When management pursues its own interests, there is a conflict with the interest of the shareholders who hired the management in the first place.

For example, Brexit. Brexit refers to the UK retreat from the European Union, one of the most famous economic unions in the world. The economic implications of Brexit are numerous, ranging from the new tariff regulations to the regulated movement of people and animals through the newly established borders.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: option C

Explanation: THIS CAN BE REPRESENTED AS FOLLOWS :-

If we eliminate the product there would be no sales, no variable expenses and therefore, no contribution.

sales = nil

-variable expenses= nil

contribution = nil

- fixed expenses = 56,000

NET LOSS = (56000)

NOTE :-

Fixed expense = (140,000)*(40%)= 56,000

Thus increase in loss would be 56000- 50,000=6000

Komok [63]

The still-face interaction paradigm

An experimental task was introduced in 1978 to prove that infants actively contribute to social interaction. It is called the Still-Face Paradigm or SFP.

In the experiment, 3 phases of face-to-face interaction of infants with an adult were tested: the normal interaction, the still-face (where the adult becomes unresponsive and maintains a neutral facial expression), and a reunion where the adult resumes normal interaction.

Indeed, the still-face paradigm showed effects like increased gaze aversion and less smiling.
