Answer:

C. Separating Management from Ownership

Explanation:

What is Agency

The agency refers to contractural, quasi-contractual and non-contractual fiduciary relationships which represents two to three parties. The first is a person called the agent, the second is the principal and the final is a third party. Agency authorizes an agent to act on behalf of the principal and create binding relatinships with a third party.

Agency Conflict

Agency conflict represents a conflict of interest which is unavoidable in an agency relationship where one party is to act in the best interest of the other party. Specifically, in the business or corporate settings, the agency conflict arises when there is a conflict of interest between an organisation's management and the owners of the organisation.

The challenge is that management who is the agent is expected at all times to make decisions that will constantly maximize the wealth of the owners and at times, these decisions would conflict with management's ability to maximize its own wealth

Therefore, once the management of an organisation is separated from ownership especially in a Management/ shareholders relationship, an agency conflict could arise.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Each scholarship will have an amount of $ 85,000.

Explanation:

Since Joe and Jorge both graduated from an engineering college and decided to donate money to their college, and they set up 10 engineering scholarships per year starting in 2046 for every year, if $ 50,000 is invested in the trust fund in the year 2021 and if it earns a very good rate of return of 12% per year, to determine what will the amount of each scholarship be starting in 2046 the following calculation must be performed:

(50,000 x 1.12 ^ (2046-2021)) / 10 = X

(50,000 x 1.12 ^ 25) / 10 = X

850,003.22 / 10 = X

85,000.32 = X

Therefore, each scholarship will have an amount of $ 85,000.

Data provided in the question:

Net income = $360,000

Dividends paid on common stock = $125,000

Dividends paid on preferred stock = $50,000

Common stockholders’ equity  at the end of the year = $2,000,000

Now,

Payout ratio

= ( cash dividends declared to common stockholders ) ÷ ( Net income )

= $125,000 ÷ $360,000

= 0.347

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

A cut in interest rates will cause the following effects:

  • Output: output will increase because an interest rate cut makes credit cheaper. Firms will now borrow more money at cheaper interest, and will invest those funds in producing more.
  • Inflation: an interest cut is produced by an increase in the money supply. When the money supply increases, inflation goes up as well.
  • Unemployment: unemployment will go down. Because there is more money in the economy, there is also cheaper credit, and as explained above, firms will make use of these cheap credits to invest more and produce more. To do so, they will need to hire more workers.
