Answer to Question 1

The principal-agent problem results when an agent pursues his own interests rather than the interests of the principal who hired him. This can be a problem for a corporation because the managers of a firm (the agents) may choose to pursue policies that benefit themselves rather than the firm's stockholders (the principals). Stockholders would benefit from a policy that yields higher profits but managers may consider the policy too risky and prefer to take fewer risks even at the expense of possible future profits. Because most shareholders are divorced from the daily operation of the firm they may be unaware of the choices managers make.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
