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.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

= $11,670,200/ $41,329,800 x 100 = 28.24%

Explanation:

The question is to compute the flotation cost of the funds raised by Cross Country Movers after going public. Furthermore, it should be presented as a percentage.

The formula therefore, is = Total Direct Costs / Net Amount raised x 100

Step 1: Total Direct Costs

= Direct Costs (legal and others) + Indirect costs + (Initial Offering Price - the amount received for each share x total shares sold) + (Price rise in stock per share - the initial offering price per share x total shares sold)

= $626,000 + $105,000 + 9,667,200‬+ 1,272,000‬ = $11,670,200

Step 2: Net Amount Raised

= Amount recieved per share x total shares - Direct and indirect costs

= $19.84 x 2,120,000 shares - $626,000 + $105,000

= 42,060,800‬- 731,000‬ = $41,329,800

Step 3: Floatation Cost in Percentage

= $11,670,200/ $41,329,800 x 100 = 28.24%
