Answer:

Salary raises based on length of service  

Explanation:

Agency conflict occur when the owners of a firm do not manage the company. Instead, the firm is managed by mangers. As a result, the interest of the manger might not be aligned with that of the owners and as a result the manager would not act in the best interest of the owners.

Agency problem is more common in public companies

If management compensation tied to the market value of the firm's stock, it would incentivise managers to take steps that would ensure that the value of the company's stock increases. This is because they would also benefit if the value of the stock increases

A stock option plan gives managers the option of buying a company's stock if certain targets are met. This would motivate an employee to work in the best interest of the shareholders

A proxy fight and a takeover would make the managers to lose their jobs. Most managers would not want to lose their jobs. A threat of a takeover or a proxy fight can serve to motivate mangers to act in the best interest of the stockholders

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Missing question <em>"1. What is the cost of debt for Easy Corp? 2. How many interest payments are left for the bond of Easy Corp? 3. What is the interest payment per period for the bond? 4. What is the discount rate per period to use in pricing the bonds? 5. What is the market value of equity for Easy? 6. What is the cost of equity for Easy?"</em>

<em />

1. Cost of debt is equal to YTM, which is equal to 10%

Cost of debt = YTM = 10%

2. Number of interest payment to be made is equal to 26 * 2 = 52

This is because payment is made semi annually

3. Interest payment per period = 8.9141% / 2 * $1,000

Interest payment per period = 4.45705% * $1,000

Interest payment per period = $44.57

4. As the period is semiannual, discount rate per period is equal to 10% / 2 = 5%

5. Market value of equity = 600,000*60 = $36,000,000

6. Cost of equity = Dividend price + Growth rate

Cost of equity = 6.3/60 + 0.05

Cost of equity = 0.105 + 0.05

Cost of equity = 0.155

Cost of equity = 15.5%

Inventory days outstanding: 249 days and 252 days.

Explanation:

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales * 100

GP margin :

Year 1 = 53%

Year 2 = 54%

Year 1 : 3,320,864 / 4,860,309  * 365 = 249 days

Year 2 : 2,632,898 / 3,804,031 *365 = 252 days
