Answer:
the  expected return on the portfolio is 15.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:
Total investment is 
= $2,700 + $3,800 
= $6,500
Now  
Expected return of portfolio is 
= ($2,700 ÷ $6,500) × 12 + ($3,800 ÷ $6,500) × 18 
= 4.98% + 10.52%
 = 15.50%
Hence, the  expected return on the portfolio is 15.50%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: An unfavorable variance can be used to detect a drop in estimated income early, and then solutions to the challenge can be identified.
Explanation:
 An unfavorable variance is the difference between a company's projected expectation and the actual outcome of a financial activity of the company, where the actual outcome is less favorable than the projected expectation.
 The information from an unfavorable variance can help alert a company to a negative outcome early, and the company's leadership can then find ways of solving the cause of the negative outcome.
