    1st question

    Expansionary monetary policy typically involves lowering interest rates and increasing the money supply to stimulate economic growth.

    This can have the following effects on businesses:
    Increase availability of credit
    Lower interest rates

    The 2nd question

    According to agency theory, conflicts of interest can arise between principals and agents due to differences in their goals and incentives.
    The theory suggests that principals can reduce agency costs by implementing mechanisms to align the interests of agents with their own, such as performance-based compensation schemes.

    So true are
    Information between agents and principal are symmetrical.
    Setting up a remuneration committee helps reduce the agency problem.
    Shareholders appoint directors as agents to represent them.
