Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighte

uysha [10]

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

D) The Agency Problem

Explanation:

The agency problem refers to a conflict of interests between the principal and his/her agent. Agents have a fiduciary duty to act on the best interest of their principal, but sometimes agents place their own personal interest before the interests of their principal.

in this case, the brokers should act on behalf of their clients to make them earn the largest possible profits, but instead they focus on convincing them about transactions that increased the broker's profit and not the clients'.
