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.

leonid [27]

Answer:

break even point in unit =5440 units

break even point in sales = $544000

total sale = $680000

Explanation:

given data

Current operating income = $34,000

Selling price = $100

margin ratio = 25%

to find out

Bay Area Cycle’s break even point in units and total sales dollars

solution

we get here first break even point that is express as

break even point in unit =  \frac{fixed\ cost}{contribution\ per\ unit}   ..................1

break even point in unit =  \frac{136000}{100*0.25}

break even point in unit =5440 units

so

break even point in sales =  \frac{fixed\ cost}{margin\ ratio}   ..................2

break even point in sales = \frac{136000}{0.25}

break even point in sales = $544000

and

total sales will be

total sale =  \frac{operating\ income+ fixed\ expense}{margin\ ratio}   ..................3

total sale =  \frac{34000+136000}{0.25}

total sale = $680000

VLD [36.1K]

Answer: $16.69

Explanation:

Using the Dividend growth model, the value is:

= [Dividend 1/ (1 + required return)] + [Dividend 2/ (1 + required return)²] + [Terminal value / (1 + required return)²]

Terminal value = Dividend after 2 years / (required return - growth)

= 2.50/ (14.5% + 0%)

= $17.24

Dividend 1 = 3.60 * ( 1 -30%)                                Dividend 2 = 2.52 * ( 1 -30%)

= $2.52                                                                                     = $1.76

Market value = (2.52 / 1.145) + (1.76 / 1.145²) + (17.24/1.145²)

= $16.69

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Option (A) $130,000,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Excess reserves = $80,000,000

Checkable deposits = $500,000,000

Reserve requirement by the bank = 10%

Now,

The bank’s total amount of reserves will be

⇒ Reserve requirement ×  Checkable deposits

or

= 10% × $500,000,000

= 0.10 × $500,000,000

= $50,000,000

Hence,

the total amount of reserve = Required reserve + Excess reserves

= $80,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $130,000,000

Option (A) $130,000,000
