What he said, I have to answer just to ask some, hope he correct
Answer:
the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32
Explanation:
The computation of the sharpe ratio is shown below:
= (Return of portfolio - risk free asset) ÷ Standard deviation
= (17% - 9%) ÷ 25%
= 8% ÷ 25%
= 0.32
Hence, the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32
We simply applied the above formula
Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
The answer to that question is letter D. hope this helps
Answer:
The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 10,500 to 10,501 units is closest to $11.40
Explanation:
It is important to note that the question requires The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 10,500 to 10,501 units
From Production of 10500 units to 10501 units, there is an increment of 1 unit.
<u>Lets find the incremental cost of 1 unit.</u>
1.To do this we only consider variable manufacturing costs only.
2.Since increase is within the relevant range, the fixed manufacturing overheads do not change.
3.Also Ignore all non- manufacturing overhead as they do not form part of manufacturing costs.
Extra 1 Unit
Direct materials $6.70
Direct labor $3.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.20
Total Cost $11.40
