Answer:

Part A

(i) Weight(A) = 0.80 , Weight(B) = 0.20

ER(portfolio) = { ER(A) * Weight(A) } + { ER(B) * Weight(B) }

= { 10 * 0.80 } + { 20 * 0.20 }

= 12%

SD(portfolio) = { SD(A)^2 * W(A)^2 + SD(B)^2 * W(B)^2 + 2*SD(A) * SD(B) * W(A) * W(B) * CORR }^1/2

= { 900*0.64 + 2500*0.04 + 2*30*50*0.8*0.2*0.15}^1/2

= {748}^1/2

= 27.35%

(ii) Weight(A) = 0.50 , Weight(B) = 0.50

ER(portfolio) = { ER(A) * Weight(A) } + { ER(B) * Weight(B) }

= { 10 * 0.50 } + { 20 * 0.50 }

= 15%

SD(portfolio) = { SD(A)^2 * W(A)^2 + SD(B)^2 * W(B)^2 + 2*SD(A) * SD(B) * W(A) * W(B) * CORR }^1/2

= { 900*0.25 + 2500*0.25 + 2*30*50*0.5*0.5*0.15}^1/2

= {917.5}^1/2

= 30.29 %

(iii) Weight(A) = 0.20 , Weight(B) = 0.80

ER(portfolio) = { ER(A) * Weight(A) } + { ER(B) * Weight(B) }

= { 10 * 0.20 } + { 20 * 0.80 }

= 18 %

SD(portfolio) = { SD(A)^2 * W(A)^2 + SD(B)^2 * W(B)^2 + 2*SD(A) * SD(B) * W(A) * W(B) * CORR }^1/2

= { 900*0.04 + 2500*0.64 + 2*30*50*0.2*0.8*0.15}^1/2

= {1708}^1/2

= 41.33 %

Part B

Let Weight(A) be x, and Weight(B) be (1-x)

Solving the ER(portfolio) Equation :  

ER(portfolio) = { ER(A) * Weight(A) } + { ER(B) * Weight(B) }

25 = {10 * x } + {20 * (1 - x) }

25 = 10x + 20 - 20x

25 - 20 = -10x

x = - 0.5

Weight (A) = - 0.5 {its Negative which means Short Selling of Stock A}

Weight (B) = 1 - (-0.5) = 1.5

<u><em>Cross-Proof</em></u>

ER (portfolio) = { ER(A) * Weight(A) } + { ER(B) * Weight(B) }

= { 10 * -0.5 } + { 20 * 1.5 }

= { - 5 } + { 30 }

= 25% . Therefore, our Weights are Correct

Calculation of  SD (portfolio)

SD(portfolio) = { SD(A)^2 * W(A)^2 + SD(B)^2 * W(B)^2 + 2*SD(A) * SD(B) * W(A) * W(B) * CORR }^1/2

= { 900*0.25 + 2500*2.25 + 2*30*50*-0.5*1.5*0.15}^1/2

= { 225 + 5625 - 337.5 }^1/2

= {5512.5}1/2

= 74.2 %

Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of
vova2212 [387]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-

Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost

= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200

= 74%

2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:

Particulars                Job 86        Job 87        Job 88        Job 89

Beginning balance $6,888       $6,820

Direct materials       $3,000      $7,000         $2,100          $1,500

Direct labor              $800          $6,000        $900            $500

Applied overhead  

is 74% of direct labor $592           $4,440       $666            $370

Total                          $11,280       $24,260      $3,666      $2,370

3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-

Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666

Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89

= $11,280 + $2,370

= $13,650

4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

Cost of goods sold is

= Job 87

= $24,260
