Answer:
$24,160 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total contribution margin sales volume variance is given below:
The Budgeted contribution margin per pound of MT is
= $40 - $20
= $20 per pound
Now the budgeted contribution margin per pound of ET is
= $60 - $30
= $24 per pound
MT's contribution margin sales volume variance is
= (Actual sales quantity - Budgeted sales quantity) × Budgeted contribution margin per pound
= (3960 - 4000) × $20
= $800 Unfavorable
ET's contribution margin sales volume variance is
= (Actual sales quantity - Budgeted sales quantity) × Budgeted contribution margin per pound
= (5,040 - 4000) × $24
= $24,960 favorable
Now the total contribution margin sales volume is
= $800 unfavorable + $24,960 favorable
= $24,160 favorable
Answer:
B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.
Explanation:
Variance formula = sum of (probability x (r - mean)^2)
r= expected return
if the expected return would be same for each economic state then the mean would equal to expected return which ultimately will give variance zero ( as r-mean would be 0).
Hence the correct option is B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.
Answer:
11.23%
Explanation:
Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period
6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4
(6%*4) =30% + x
24% = 30% + x
x = (24% - 30%)
x = -6%
<em>For the standard deviation, we need to use </em><u><em>stdev.s function</em></u><em> in Ms Excel</em>
Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)
Standard deviation = 0.112249722
Standard deviation = 11.23%
So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.
