Answer:

Portfolio A and Portfolio B

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) = Market risk premium

Let us assume the market risk premium be X

For Portfolio A:

21% = 8% + 1.3 × X

13% = 1.3  × X

So, the X = 10%

For Portfolio B:

17% = 8% + 0.7 × X

9% = 0.7  × X

So, the X = 12.86%

Based on the market risk premium calculations, we can conclude that Portfolio A should be in short position while Portfolio B should be in long position as portfolio B has higher market risk premium than B

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Under applied

Explanation:

Actual manufacturing overhead costs are those amounts of overhead costs that are incurred by a firm during production processes.

Applied manufacturing overhead costs are those costs that are added to jobs as they near completion. Usually, as work or job nears completion during the year, the predetermined overhead rate and actual activity level are used to apportion them.

In general, manufacturing overhead costs are those costs that are not direct labor costs or direct material costs; which is made of expenses like equipment and lightening. It could either be under or over applied. It is under applied as in the above while it is over applied when the actual manufacturing overhead costs are more than the applied manufacturing overhead costs.
