C. the desires and objectives of the owners and agents conflict. D. executives do not select risky strategies because they fear losing their jobs if the strategy fails. E. all of the above.

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.
Work-in-Process Inventory for Wendall Productions has a balance of $2,600 at the end of the accounting period. The cost summaries for the uncompleted jobs showed direct materials of $1,200 and direct labor of $800. Wendall applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. The company's predetermined overhead rate is:
A. $1.00 per direct labor dollar
B. $0.65 per direct labor dollar
C. $0.50 per direct labor dollar
D. $0.75 per direct labor dollar
Answer:
D. $0.75 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
Total work in process = $2,600
- Direct materials cost = ($1,200)

Multiple Choice 45 days 50 days 101 days 108 days
Answer:
d. 108 days
Explanation:
Average Inventory = (Beginning balance + Ending balance) / 2
Average Inventory = ($139,000 + $158,000) / 2
Average Inventory = $297,000 / 2
Average Inventory = $148,500
Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
Inventory Turnover ratio = $501,000 / $148,500
Inventory Turnover ratio = 3.37 times
Average days to sell inventory = Days in a year / Inventory Turnover ratio
Average days to sell inventory = 365 days / 3.37 times
Average days to sell inventory = 108.31 days

Claude is a single father with 2 children. He can work as a stock clerk at Supermaxi store for $8 per hour up to 1,500 hours per year. He is eligible for welfare, and if he does not earn any income, he will receive $15,000 a year. If Tim works, the government policy is to deduct 70 cents from his welfare stipend for every $1 that he earns in income. This government policy provides a monetary incentive to work, because Group of answer choices
Answer: D. Tim’s income level increases the more he works.
Explanation:
Tim's income for the year = Salary from working + Welfare
Lets say Tim works 200 hours in a year.
His salary will be:
= 8 * 200 hours
= $1,600
Welfare:
70 cents off for every $1 so the amount they will deduct from Welfare is:
= 0.7 * 1,600
= $1,120
They will deduct this amount from the welfare of $15,000 and give Tim the rest.
Total income = 1,600 + (15,000 - 1,120)
= $15,480
Lets say Tim works 500 hours a year.
Salary is:
= 500 * 8
= $4,000
Amount to be deducted for welfare:
= 0.7 * 4,000
= $2,800
Total income:
= 4,000 + (15,000 - 4,000)
= $16,200
Notice how the income goes up as Tim works more. This policy therefore provides a monetary incentive to work harder.
Imagine that you were reading an international marketing text in which you learned
that the GDP for a nation that was a member of the former Soviet Union was $1.56
billion. A few pages later in the same text, the book states that that nation's real GDP
was $800,000. From reading this information, you would know that:
Answer: this former member of the Soviet Union had a high rate of inflation
Explanation:
Real GDP refers to the measuring of the gross domestic product of a country after it has been adjusted for inflation. On the other hand, the nominal GDP hasn't been adjusted for inflation and makes use of current prices.
Since the real GDP is $800,000 while the other GDP given is $1.56 billion, then it can be infered that this former member of the Soviet Union had a high rate of inflation. This is because when there's inflation, the average of all the prices of the goods and services will rise which is depicted by the difference in the GDP given.

Financing investment from the retained earnings of a company might seem like a costless method of sourcing funds but there is a cost that needs to be accounted for. This is the opportunity cost of not using those retained earnings for something else.
For instance, if Parrain Inc. decided to expand using retained earnings when they could have invested in a project that gave a return of 12% per year, the interest rate for the expansion is that 12% they could have earned from the other project.

This fact means that the demand for lobster is"
Answer:
Inelastic
Explanation:
The inelastic demand means the demand of the product does not vary when there is much change in the price. Let us assume that if the price is increased by 20% so the demand decreased only by 1% so here we can said there is inelastic demand
Also due to increased in the supply, the demand does not increased that much. So if the price is decreased so the demand does not respond due to which the total revenue comes down
So as per the given situation, having the large quantity caught the revenue is decreased so here the demand should be considered inelastic

economic decisions.
C. analyze economic data to reach general conclusions about a
country's economy.
D. determine the tax rates a business will pay depending on its
profits in a year.
o
Answer:
B. evaluate the possible positive and negative effects of different economic decisions.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.
Simply stated, cost-benefit analysis is a form of utilitarianism commonly used by individuals, business firms and government in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined and analyzed.
This ultimately implies that, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) sums the total cost associated with a project (activity) and compares this cost against the total benefits that would be generated. Thus, it helps in the decision-making process by comparing the net present value (NPV) of the cost of a particular project with the net present value (NPV) of its benefits.
Hence, a person performs a cost-benefit analysis in order to help him or her evaluate the possible positive and negative effects of different economic decisions with respect to an investment, project, activity, or programme.

Initial investments contributed to a company are which of the following? A. Shareholder's Capital and Debt B. Debt and Retained Earnings C. Shareholder's Capital and Assets
Answer:
The answer is C. Shareholder's Capital and Assets.
Explanation:
Stockholders' equity, also referred to as shareholders' or owners' equity, is the remaining amount of assets available to shareholders after all liabilities have been paid. It is calculated either as a firm's total assets less its total liabilities or alternatively as the sum of share capital and retained earnings less treasury shares. Stockholders' equity might include common stock, paid-in capital, retained earnings, and treasury stock.
Conceptually, stockholders' equity is useful as a means of judging the funds retained within a business.
Contributed capital, also known as paid-in capital, is the cash and other assets that shareholders have given a company in exchange for stock. Investors make capital contributions when a company issues equity shares based on a price that shareholders are willing to pay for them. The total amount of contributed capital or paid-in-capital represents their stake or ownership in the company.
Contributed capital may also refer to a company's balance sheet item listed under stockholders' equity, often shown alongside the balance sheet entry for additional paid-in capital.

Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run
Answer:
• One firm to have left.
• At least one will be suffering.
Explanation:
There are four companies in this scenario which means that demand should at least be 4 times the production for all of them to sell.
With demand at only 2.5 times, at least one company will not be selling enough cars to survive in the industry so they will exist.
Another one will stay but will face tough times because a demand of 2.5 times production will not be enough to Carter or three companies.
