Venture capital (VC) firms are pools of private capital that typically invest in small, fast-growing companies that can't raise
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. This is known as the principal agent moral hazard issue in venture capitalism

B. By managers maintaining some ownership in the company, there us reduced conflict as managers now see a reason to make sure company succeeds since they have an interest

Venture capitalists aim to have a seat in the board to make sure managers do not take bad decisions since they are able to veto such decisions

A real estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a mo
Anni [7]

Answer:

req 1)

Plan A

0.42 x 150 + 0.17 x 70 = 74.9

Plan B

0.52 x 150 + 0.15 x 70 = 88.5

Plan C  $80

req 2)

from 0 to 190 minutes Plan A

from 191 and beyond Plan C

req 3)

the proportion should be 1/6 daycalls and 5/6 evenings

Explanation:

150 day calls

70 minutes evening calls

Plan A

0.42 x 150 + 0.17 x 70 = 74.9

Plan B

0.52 x 150 + 0.15 x 70 = 88.5

Plan C  $80

2) A will be preferable to B as it has the lower cost

now at some point C will be better as the cost is a flat rate

80 dollars / 0.42 per minute = 190.47

3) 0.42X + 0.17Y = 0.52X + 0.15Y

a minute of daycall is 10 cent higher in plan B

while a minute of evening call is 2 cent lower

thus, to balance there was to be 5 times more evening call than day times:

1:5 1 + 5 = 6

the proportion should be 1/6 daycalls and 5/6 evenings

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$814.10

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now

Using this formula

Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value

Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t

Let plug in the formula

Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)

Bond price= $814.10

Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10
