A portfolio is composed of two securities, Stock X and Stock Z. Stock X has a standard deviation of returns of 35%, while Stock

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Portfolio SD = 0.18439 or 18.439%

Explanation:

The standard deviation of a stock or a portfolio is the measure of the total risk contained in the stock or portfolio. Risk can be defined as the volatility of the stock returns. To calculate the standard deviation of a two stock portfolio, we use the attached formula.

If the weight of stock x is 40%, the weight of stock y will be 1 - 40% = 60%

SD = √(0.4)^2 * (0.35)^2 + (0.6)^2 * (0.15)^2 + 2 * 0.4 * 0.6 * 0.25 * 0.35 * 0.15

SD = 0.18439 or 18.439%

Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system. A single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is comp

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total number of direct labor hours= (1,000*2) + (2,000*7)= 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000 / 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $75 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we allocate overhead to each unit and calculate the unitary cost:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 75*2= $150

Unitary cost= 150 + 8 + 10= $168

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 75*7= $525

Unitary cost= 525 + 6 + 11= $542

<u>Finally, using activity-based costing:</u>

Mercon Wurcon Total

Engineering design time (in hours) 1,000 1,000 2,000

Direct labor-hours 2,000 14,000 16,000

Engineering= 600,000 / 2,000= $300 per design hour

Direct labor= 600,000 / 16,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*2 + 300*1= $375

Unitary cost= 375 + 8 + 10= $393

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*7 + 300*0.5= $412.5

Unitary cost= 412.5 + 6 + 11= $429.5

U.S. businesses and those of other countries are seeking to expand around the world for many reasons. Which of the following is

Andrews [41]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

An increase in underdeveloped countries cannot be the reason why businesses would expand abroad because there wont be as much potential buyers in underdeveloped economies as they have very low capita income and most of the residents live in very poor conditions. But however other options are valid because favorable trade agreements and developed transportation and IT makes the international trade easy and beneficial to both the buyer and the seller. Moreover, when domestic markets matures, the rate of growth slows down and falls to zero. this is when the businesses want to emerge and find new markets abroad in order to benefit from the trade as in matured market there is less chance for businesses to grow and it becomes risky

16. GDP Growth Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year GDP (Billions of current dollars) (Billions of 2009 dollars) 2011 1

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The percentage change in nominal GDP from 2013 to 2014 was 4.29%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was 1.48%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was higher than the percentage change in real GDP from 2011 to 2012. FALSE

Explanation:

In order to calculate this we just have to calculate the percentages with a rule of thirds:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}$

To calculate the first one we use the nominal GDP which is the GDP with the current market value:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{16,663.2}{100}= \frac{17,348.1 }{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(17,348.1}{16,663.2} \\x=4.29%$

To calculate the change in real GDP we use the values adapted to a pre-agreed monetary value, in this case the dollar at 2009:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{15,354.6}{100}= \frac{15,583.3}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,583.3}{15,354.6} \\x=1.48%$

To calculate the 2011 to 2012 we insert the values:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{ 15,020.6}{100}= \frac{15,354.6}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,354.6}{ 15,020.6} \\x=2.22%$

So with this we know that it is wasn´t higher the percentage change from 2012-2013, than that of 2011-2012
