Answer:
The contribution margin ratio will increase.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
BrewCo sells coffeemakers for $120 each. The firm currently has variable costs per unit of $65. BrewCo can reduce its variable cost per unit to $58.
Contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost)/selling price
New Contribution margin ratio= (120 - 58)/120= 0.52
Old Contribution margin ratio= (120 - 65)/120= 0.46
Answer:
A portfolio consists of 40% in Security A and 60% in Security B. The covariance matrix for A is 144, 225; for B is 225, 81. The standard deviation for the portfolio is <u>12.7</u>
Option D is correct
Explanation:
Wa: 0.4
Wb: 0.6
a^2: 144
b^2: 81
Cov(a,b): 225
Portfolio Variance:
: (0.4*0.4*144) + (0.6*0.6*81) + (2*0.4*0.6*225)
: 160.2
Portfolio Standard Deviation: 12.7
Answer:
A. The country has a high inflation rate and rapid economic growth.
Explanation:
A contractionary monetary policy aims at limiting the amount of money supply in the economy. Contractionary monetary policies discourage banks from lending out money to businesses and households. If firms and individuals have no easy access to credit, the level of investments and consumption declines, resulting in slower economic growth.
Contractionary monetary policies are also used to tame a high inflation rate. Inflation is the general increase in prices in the economy. It may arise due to a high economic growth rate. Because contractionary policies decrease the supply of money in the economy, less liquidity reduces the aggregate demand, thereby curbing increasing prices.
I would say that the last answer is the most likely to occur
When actual revenue <u>exceeds</u> what the revenue should have been, the variance is labelled favourable.
Hope that helps!
