3- After years of training, Sara has landed a contract playing professional lacrosse. Eager to leverage her pro status by bringing in endorsements, she asks Jenny MacGuire to be her personal manager. Jenny has offered Sara a choice of two payment plans. Sara can engage Jenny's services for a flat fee of $100,000. Alternatively, Sara can pay Jenny 15% of all endorsement revenue. Sara estimates that if Jenny expends modest effort ($20,000 worth) in her job, she will generate $600,000 in endorsement revenue for Sara. But if Jenny expends high effort ($50,000 worth), she will bring in $1 million in endorsements. a. Suppose Sara agrees to the flat-rate plan. What can Sara expect to receive if Jenny expends modest effort? If Jenny expends high effort? What can Jenny expect to receive in either case? Explain the associated principal-agent problem. Who is the principal? Who is the agent? b. For both possible effort levels, determine the rewards to Jenny and Sara if Sara chooses the 15% plan. What happens to the principal-agent problem if Sara chooses this plan?

13. Moreon the time value of money The time value of money concept can be applied in various situations and is a fundamental concept underlying other financial concepts. Consider the following example of the application of this concept. Charles is a divorce attorney who practices law in New York City. He wants to join the American Divorce Lawyers Association (ADLA), a professional organization for divorce attorneys. The membership dues for the ADLA are $550 per year and must be paid at the beginning of each year. For instance, membership dues for the first year are paid today, and dues for the second year are payable one year from today. However, the ADLA also has an option for members to buy a lifetime membership today for $5,000 and never have to pay annual membership dues. Obviously, the lifetime membership isn’t a good deal if you only remain a member for a couple of years, but if you remain a member for 40 years, it’s a great deal. Suppose that the appropriate annual…
