Answer:

The answer is A portfolio consisting of about three randomly selected stocks from different sectors.

Explanation:

Standard deviation simply means the amount or the percentage that the portfolio may change in response to a shift in the market.

The best way to have a small standard deviation is by investing in different sectors rather than in one sector. This strategy is called diversification and it's a great way to mitigate risk.

Answer:

C. A portfolio consisting of about three randomly selected stocks from different sectors

Explanation:

Standard deviation helps measure risks. It determines market volatility or the spread of asset price from their average price. When the volatility of prices are rapid, standard deviation becomes high which in turn means investment is risky and vice versa. Diversification of investment tend to reduce risk. A portfolio containing a diversified randomly selected stock from three sectors would have a lower standard deviation (risk) than the other portfolios stated in the question.

Diversification is a form of risk management.

An apparel manufacturing plant has estimated the variable cost to be $2.40 per unit. Fixed costs are $2,000,000 per year. Forty
marta [7]

Answer:

BEP units:          42,017

BEP dollars: 2,100,850

unit cost at 100,000 units produced: 22.40 dollars

operating profit :    1,656,000

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

50 - 2.4 = 47.6 contirbution margin per unit

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

2,000,000/47.6 = 42.016,80 BEP units

BEP units x sales price = BEP dollars

42,017 x 50 = 2,100,850

(B)

fixed cosy/ units produced = fixed cost per unit

2,000,000/ 100,000 = 20 fixed cost per unit

fixed cost + variable cost = total cost

20 + 2.40 = 22.4

(C)

There are 40% units sold at the preferred customer at cost

So we sale at gain only 60% of the units:

100,000 units x 60% x 50       =  3,000,000

100,000 units x 40% x 22.40  =     896,000

Total revenue                              3,896,000

Cost: 100,000 x 22.40          <u>     (2,240,000)  </u>

operating profit                            1,656,000

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

Explanation:

In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:

manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time

value added time= 40 min

throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time

throughput time=40+5+15+2+120

throughput time=182 min

Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182

manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219

The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

Kaplan, Inc. produces flash drives for computers, which it sells for $27 each. The variable cost to make each flash drive is $13
horsena [70]

Answer:

Contribution per unit

= Selling price - Variable cost per unit

 = $27 -$13

= $14

Contribution margin ratio

= Contribution per unit

  selling price

= $14

  $27

=  0.518518518

Break-even point in dollars

= $1,400

  0.518518518

= $2,700

               

Explanation:

Break-even point in dollars  equals fixed cost divided by contribution margin ratio. Contribution margin ratio is equal to contribution per unit divided by selling price. Contribution per unit is selling price minus variable cost per unit.
