Explanation:
The Sharpe ratio is simply used by organizations and investors in order to compare the return on an investment to its risk.
From the question, we are informed that a portfolio has a 30% standard deviation generated a return of 15% last year when T-bills were paying 6.0%.
The Sharpe ratio will be:

Explanation:
The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.
The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.
By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.
Foregone purchase costs from supplier: $12.80
Incurred costs (directly) from production: ($11.77)
Direct materials ($4.45)
Direct Labour ($3.45)
Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6) <u>($3.87)</u>
Net gain per headlight <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>

Inferior good is a good whose demand decreases when income increases
The substitution effect looks at the change in price of a good relative to other goods. When the price of good x increases, rob should increase consumption of good y and reduce that of good x if it were a normal good
The income effect looks at how a change in price affects real disposable income
When preparing the operating budgets for a manufacturing company, the manufacturing overhead budget includes costs that are projected by the cost accountant and the production manager. It contains the all <span>manufacturing costs and expenses, except the direct materials (raw materials) and direct labor. </span>
Answer:
retention ratio
Explanation:
Retention ration is the portion of net income retained by a firm to grow its business rather than being declared and paid as dividened.
When a company makes profit at the end of financial period, the company can either retain part of its earning for business expansion, declare part as dividends paid to shareholder or combine both.
Where a firm now reinvest the portion of the profit earned in itself, it is called retention ratio.
