Which of the following is not a characteristic of principal-agent conflicts that often exist in a firm?

Firms can usually find solutions that reduce agency costs without increasing monitoring or incentive costs. Managers generally have a shorter time horizon than owners; thus, managers do not fully take into account the future long-run profitability of the firm.
