sergey [27]

Answera dnd Explanation:

A. The incentive conflict in principal-agent relationship as it concerns venture capitalism is conflict between venture capitalists who are the principals and the managers of the business investment who are the agents. The conflict is that venture capitalists are put to increase value of their investment and make profit while salaried managers are only out to feel their pockets through their managerial role in the company as they do not have an interest in the company and are unaffected by the loss or failure of the company.

Non-toxic-toys currently has $400,000 of equity and is planning a $160,000 expansion to meet increasing demand for its product.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

1. $100,000 and 25%

2. $137,200 and 34.3%

3. $150,000 and 27%

Explanation:

1. It does not expand

    a. Net income= $100,000 (as given in the question)

    b. Return on equity= (net income)/(shareholder’s equity)

Shareholder’s equity= $400,000

Thus return on equity= 100000/400000 = 0.25  or 25%

2. It expands and issue $160,000 in debt

    a. Net income= $100000 + 50000 –  12800 (debt interest 8% of     $160000)

= $137,200

b. Return on equity= (net income)/(shareholder’s equity)

= 137200/400000

=0.343  or 34.3%

3. It expands and raises equity of $160000

a. Net Income= $100000 + 50000

= $150000

b. Return on equity= (net income)/(shareholder’s equity)

= 150000/(400000 + 160000)

Where ($560,000) 400000 + 160000 is shareholder’s equity

= 0.27 or 27%
