Answer:
In accounting, agency costs are the costs of hiring an agent in order for him/her to act on behalf of a principal. In finance, agency costs are much broader since they imply costs that may appear due to conflicts of interests between the agent and the principal. E.g. a manager who seeks to accomplish short term goals in order to collect a bonus but hurts the long term objectives and goals of the stockholders.
Agency costs of financial distress refers to the costs associated with conflicts of interest that may result in a company being insolvent, specially in the long run. This type of costs are not necessarily related to operating costs, instead they result from management decisions and strategies, e.g. higher cost of capital or debt, or even excessive spending.
Agency benefits of leverage result from stockholders benefiting from the agent's decision to keep equity low, and if needed, obtain financing from debt sources.
Capital gain is computed in the formula below:
Capital gain= [(Current price-Original price)/ Original price ]x100
If stocks before
Original price =$1.75 x (1+14.8%)
= $2.009
Current price = $1.75 x(1+11.2%)
= $1.956
Capital gains yield = [($1.956-$2.009)/($2.009)]x100
= -0.264 x 100
= -26.4
Capital loss of 26.4% because the stock value decreased.
Answer: C. the quantity supplied at that price.
Explanation:
A shortage for a good occurs when the current market price is less than the equilibrium price. So, whenever there is a shortage at a particular price the quantity sold at that price will be less than the quantity demanded. The amount of shortage is equal to quantity demanded minus quantity supplies. And the quantity sold is equal to the quantity supplied at that price.
Answer:
c)consumer’s desired price is too low, producers may limit the amount produced
Explanation:
In a free market economy, price and quantity produced is determined by the forces of demand and supply. If there's a disequilibrium in the market, market forces bring about equilibrium.
In this question, there's a disequilibrium; there seems to be excess supply. To restore equilibrium, supply has to fall so equilibrium can be restored.
