I've never heard anyone say, ‘The prospective return isn't high enough to warrant bearing all that volatility.’ What they fear is the possibility of permanent loss.” Now volatility, to be sure, can cause permanent loss, because it can put investors in a situation where they choose, or are forced, to crystallize losses by selling after a drop.
Unfortunately, volatility’s ease of measurement has put it at the center of risk management, leading to all sorts of problems when, as in 2008, we get unprecedented volatility and correlation, leading to permanent loss which was never predicted by the risk management systems and experts in charge.
2. A volatile investment is more risky.

You own a portfolio that is 31 percent invested in Stock X, 46 percent in Stock Y, and 23 percent in Stock Z. The expected retur

MrRa [10]

Answer: 13.53%

Explanation:

The expected return on the portfolio will be calculated by multiplying the investment in each stock by the expected return of the stocks. This will be:

= (31% × 11%) + (46% × 14%) + (23% ×16%)

= 3.41% + 6.44% + 3.68%

= 13.53%

The management of Bullinger Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on a

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$5,160

Explanation:

Predetermined Overhead Rate on Capacity = Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead / Estimated Capacity for the Year

Predetermined Overhead Rate on Capacity = $34,840 / 29,000 MH

Predetermined Overhead Rate on Capacity = $1.20 MH

Actual use of capacity = 24,700 hours

Unused hours = 29,000 hours - 24,700 hours

Unused hours = 4,300 hour

Cost of unused capacity = 4,300 hours * $1.20 MH

Cost of unused capacity = $5,160

Stormy Corporation has two service departments (S1 and S2) and two production departments (P1 and P2), and uses the step-down me

Marianna [84]

Answer:

E. Both S1's cost should be allocated (i.e., spread) over 140 employees and S2 should allocate a total of $390,000 to P1 and P2.

Explanation:

As S1 gives more service, So it would be allocated first

Here

S1 cost of $280,000 would be allocated to S2 P1 and P2 based on number of employees

The total employees in S2 P1 and P2 is

= 20 + 50 + 70

= 140

And, the Cost to be allocated per employee is

= $280,000 ÷ 140

= $2,000

Now cost received by S2 is

= $2,000 × 20

= $40000

And, the cost received by P1 is

= $2,000 × 50

= $100,000

And, the cost received by P2 is

= $2,000 × $70

= $140,000

Now

S2 contains total cost of

= $350,000 + $40,000 (from S1)

= $390,000

So this would be allocated to P1 and P2 as S1 has already allocated

Hence, option D is correct

Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that the marginal revenue for a product is MR = 1

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Profit 6,130

Explanation:

MC = 30X + 4

when X=5

Cost to produce 5 units:

We will need to calcualte the MC for 1, 2 , 3, 4 and 5 units and then add them together

MC = 30(5) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 154

MC = 30(4) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 124

MC = 30(3) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 94

MC = 30(2) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 64

MC = 30(1) + 4 = 150 + 4 = 34

Total 470

Giving this, now anther way, more easy would be to use the Gauss method to a summatory:

$S=\frac{n\times(n+1)}{2}$

S to 5 from 1 of (30x+4) =

$30 \times \frac{5\times6}{2} +4 \times 5$

S = 470

Now we can continue:

Total Marginal cost 470 + Fixed Cost: 900 = 1370

MR = 1500 revenue for adding 1 unit

1500 x 5 = 7500 total revenue

total revenue - total cost = profit

7500 - 1370 = 6,130

The Josey Company uses the weighted average method. The beginning work in process consists of 6,000 units (100% completed as to

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Total equivalent units= 135,000 units

Explanation:

The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.

Conversion costs:

Units completed and transferred out= 133,000 units

Ending WIP= 10,000*0.2= 2,000 units

Total equivalent units= 135,000 units
