Answer: The correct answer is "B. may be less than the variance of the least risky stock in the portfolio.".
Explanation: If a stock portfolio is well diversified, then the portfolio variance may be less than the variance of the least risky stock in the portfolio.

Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Labor costs = $175,000
Production order = $150,000
General factory use = $25,000
Factory overhead applied to production = $23,000
Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:
Work in process A/c Dr. $23,000
To Factory overhead $23,000
(To record the factory overhead applied to production)
Answer:
a. $343.7 billion
b. $331.9 billion
c. $334.1 billion
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For GDP
GDP = Personal consumption expenditures + Government purchases + Net private domestic investment + Consumption of fixed capital + net exports
where,
Net exports = U.S. exports of goods and services - U.S. imports of goods and services
= $17.8 - $16.5
= $1.3 billion
So, the GDP would be
= $219.1 + $59.4 + $52.1 + $11.8 + $1.3
= $343.7 billion
b. For NDP
NDP = GDP - Consumption of fixed capital or depreciation
= $343.7 - $11.8
= $331.9 billion
c. For NI
NI = GDP + Net foreign income
= $331.9 billion + 2.2 billion
= $334.1 billion
All values are in billions
Answer:
Variable cost per unit = $4.60
Explanation:
To calculate the element of variable cost in a mix cost using high-low method, we need to take the cost of the highest activity level and subtract the cost of the lowest activity level from it and divide the answer by the difference between the highest and the lowest activity levels.
<u>High-low method</u>
- Variable cost per unit = (Highest Activity Cost - Lowest Activity Cost) / (Highest Activity Units - Lowest Activity Units)
- Variable cost per unit = (66436 - 60226) / (2660 - 1310) = $4.60 per unit
Answer:
The amount of real property taxes that Elaine is allowed to deduct for year 1 is $7150.
Explanation:
Elaine started living in the new home from July, which means that she has been living there for 6 months ( as per current date). But at the time when she purchased the house the total amount of property tax was $13,300 and now it is $14,300.
Since last 6 months she has been living in that home, and current property tax is $14,300 , that means now she is allowed a 50% deduction on the property taxes ,
$14,300 / 2 = $7150
Therefore Elaine is allowed $7150 as amount of deduction on property tax.
