Answer:
The correct option here is A) marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue
Explanation:
When a company is producing more goods and services, it becomes a bad move because at this point company's marginal cost starts exceeding the marginal revenue , which means with each additional units a company is producing it is losing profit on that unit, so it is better for a company to produce less and try to find that level of output where its marginal cost and revenue are equal because at that level, company would be able to make optimal profits.
Answer:
1. Calculate the NPV for each option available for the project. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g. 1,234,567.)
- go to market now = $744,000
- focus group = $852,000
- consulting firm = $916,000
2. Which action should the firm undertake?
The NPV is higher than the rst of the options.
Explanation:
expected payoffs:
- option 1 (go to market now) = (40% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $744,000
- option 2 (focus group) = (55% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $1,023,000
- option 3 (consulting firm) = (70% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $1,302,000
expected NPVs:
- option 1 (go to market now) = $744,000
- option 2 (focus group) = $1,023,000 - $171,000 = $852,000
- option 3 (consulting firm) = $1,302,000 - $386,000 = $916,000
go to market now
Answer:
The answer is E.
Explanation:
In a public company, the directors are the agents of the company while the shareholders are the principals(owners) of the company. Because most times, shareholders doesn't have the needed skills and experience to run businesses, they employ director/management (agent) to run their businesses. Most times there is conflict of interest, for example, the managers might prefer a risky business while the shareholders might prefer less risky, this type of scenario creates agency problem.
Agency problem (principal-agent problem) is a conflict of interest that happens when the directors (agent) don't fully represent the best interest of the shareholders (principal)
So all the options in the question represents agency problem.
