We talk about a problem in Corporate Governance in active monitoring.
A monitor learns about the Bad Project, which yields private benefit B, with probability M. The monitor learns nothing with probability 1-M. This probability of M of effective monitoring (=monitoring level) is dependent on the effort cost or what we call disutility of effort g(M) incurred by this monitor. It is assumed that disutility of effort is increasing g’()>0 and convex g’’()>0. We also assume that g’(0) and g’(1) = ∞. Let Rb be the borrower’s reward. In successful case, its value is b/Δp < Rb < B/Δp. Let Rm be the monitor’s payoff in a successful case.
The question is: Show the Net Present Value of the project for monitoring level M.

Which of the following statements about the RFM analysis above is NOT correct?
A) The average response rate is 2.02%.
B) Recency metric may perform better to predict responsive customers than Frequency and Mon- etary value metrics.
C) The response rate of recency-based quintile 1 (4.50%) is much greater than the average re- sponse rate, implying that company X would be able to reduce the costs incurred for having a successful number of responses in the campaign if it chose the customers only from the quintile (recency-based quintile 1).
D) This result shows a failure of predicting profitable customers through the RFM metrics because the response rate does not dramatically vary from monetary value-based quintile 1 to 5.
