Answer: Increasing current profits when doing so lowers the value of the company's equity.

Explanation:

The main purpose of a company is to increase the wealth of shareholders. In their capacity as stewards for the company, managers should be working therefore to achieve this goal.

When management neglects this goal and begins to seek an improvement in their welfare and wealth instead of the shareholder', this is an Agency problem.

If a Financial manager is increasing current profits even though doing so will lower the value of the company's equity, this can create an agency problem because the shareholders are suffering but the finance manager might get rewarded for increasing profits.

You are considering a project with an initial cost of $7,500. What is the payback period for this project if the cash inflows ar
Sliva [168]

Answer:

A. 3.21 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $7,500

In year 1 = $1,100

In year 2 = $1,640

In year 3 = $3,800

In year 4 = $4,500

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $6,540

Now we deduct the $6,540 from the $7,500 , so the amount would be $960 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $4,500

So, the payback period equal to

= 3 years + $960 ÷ $4,500

= 3.21 years

In 3.21 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.

Talja [164]

Answer:

$865.75

Explanation:

The computation of break even point is given below:-

Total sales

= $23,000 + $36,000

= $59,000

Total variable cost

= $10,000 + $17,660

= $27,660

So, contribution margin = Total sales = Total variable cost

= $59,000 - $27,660

= $31,340

Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (Total sales) × 100

= $31,340 ÷ $59,000 × 100

= 53.11%

Since, the break even point = Fixed cost ÷ profit margin ratio

= $45,980 ÷ 53.11%

= $865.75

MrMuchimi
A country is possibly over investing in human capital if people are not educated enough to fill existing job openings is false. A country would be over investing in human capital if people were overqualified for the jobs that were available. A good example of this would be a lawyer only able to get a job at a department store. The lawyer is well overqualified for the job however, that is all they can find available.
