Suppose that we have a firm who has a risk project S with a loan rate at 5% and that the firm will default if its project fails. Also assume that Loan amount is given at a size of L. (1)Now compute the value of S in this case with success probability is given p= 1-(S/2). (2)Then compute the new S if the firm has to pay all loan principle even after the project fails. (3)Lastly state how your answer will change if the loan rate becomes higher in both Moral Hazard case and another case without it

It's about Moral Hazard. Suppose that we have a firm who has a risk project S with a loan rate at 5%(in class, it was assumed to be zero) and that the firm will default if its project fails. Also assume that Loan amount is given at a size of L. (1)Now compute the value of S in this case with success probability is given p= 1-(S/2). (2)Then compute the new S if the firm has to pay all loan...

A risk-neutral principal (P) must hire a risk-neutral a manager (the agent) in order to undertake some action. If the agent is successful, the principal receives a pay-off of S = 100 and if the agent fails the principal receives F = 0. The agent must exert costly effort e in order to make this task successful and the probability of success p is given by p(e) = √ e. The agent’s cost of effort is c(e) = 100e. Finally,...

[Fill in the blanks and circle the correct response] A single firm has the option of pursuing either a safe project or a risky project. Assume that the two investment projects cost $100 each; one produces revenue of $125 for sure, and one produces revenue of $160 with a 50% probability. Assume the firm can sell a bond for $100 if the expected payment is at least $110 (that is, the saver/investor expects a 10% return). If the firm could...

Suppose that we have perfectly competitive input markets and output markets. Firm "Tomato Harvesting" produces canned tomatoes which it sells at $50. Suppose that initially the firm's production technology is given by: f(k,l) = l(1/2) Technological innovation has occurred, however. A new harvester has been invented by a professor. If the firm employs the tomato harvester, the new production technology is given by: f(k.l) = k0.25l(1/2) The tomato harvester represents 1300 units of capital. At what hourly market wage will...

Suppose there are two firms in a market who each simultaneously choose a quantity. Firm 1’s quantity is q1, and firm 2’s quantity is q2. Therefore the market quantity is Q = q1 + q2. The market demand curve is given by P = 160 - 2Q. Also, each firm has constant marginal cost equal to 10. There are no fixed costs. The marginal revenue of the two firms are given by: MR1 = 160 – 4q1 – 2q2 MR2...
