32.23 Millie Bush has written a best-seller. Revenues net of production costs are $3007¹/34¹/3 where T is the number of publicity trips Millie takes and A is the number of ads for the book that appear. Millie has to pay for all of her own publicity trips, which cost $100 each. Her publisher pays for the advertising, which costs $100 per ad. Revenues from the book are split equally between Millie and her publisher. Let T1 be the number of trips that Millie would choose to make in a Nash equilibrium where she chooses the number of trips and the publisher chooses the amount of advertising. Let T2 be the number of trips that Millie should make if trips and advertising are determined so as to maximize total profits net of trip and ad costs. (a) T1 = 1 and 72 = 1. (b) T1 = 1 and 72 = 2. (c) T1 = 2 amd T2 = 1. (d) T1 = 1 and T2 = 1/8. (e) T1 1/8 and T2 = 1.
Lyft launched its IPO on April 1st 2019 with a share price of $72. Before the IPO, Lyft’s board of directors was likely trying to decide how to compensate CEO Logan Green to provide an incentive for him to increase the firm’s performance and share price after it went public. Let’s say the board was considering two possibilities such that they were deciding between providing one million dollars worth of shares of the firm stock at $72 per share or one million dollars worth of call options with a strike price of $72 and a maturity and vesting date one year after the IPO. To keep things simple, let’s say CEO Logan Green can choose between providing two levels of effort: regular effort or high effort. He has been exerting regular effort all along. He could switch to high effort which would be much more costly for him as he would have to work even longer hours, but the extra effort would likely result in better performance for the firm. The goal of the board’s incentive compensation is to…

Which of the following statements regarding business ethics is NOT correct? According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, directors' obligation is to manage the corporation "for the best interests of the corporation", which might not be “maximizing shareholder value" all the time. According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, when there is no established ethics policy, directors can turn to their company values statement for guidance about what constitutes ethical business behavior. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, a better way to manage ethics is to design workplace context that encourage good behavior. Keeping prosocial values top of mind for employees as they make decisions will reduce the likelihood of transgressions. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, the "tone at the top" is a much more significant driver of employees' behavior than "tone in the middle".
