Answer:

d. can be less than the standard deviation of the least risky security in the portfolio.

Explanation:

  • The modern portfolio theory is a mean-variance analysis and is the mathematical assessment of the portfolio of assessment such as the expected return and is maximized for a given set of risks and is by finding the weight of the first asset and then multiplying it by the variance of the assets and square of the variable of the second asset is multiplied by the second assets.

amid [387]

Answer:

$202,409

Explanation:

Firstly, we will need to calculate Break even in sales dollar for division Q using the formula;

= Division Q fixed cost / contribution margin ratio

Division Q fixed cost = $89,060

But,

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

Contribution margin ratio = $161,920 / $368,000

Contribution margin ratio = 44%

Therefore, the Break even in sales dollar for Division Q

= $89,060 / 44%

= $202,409

The Break even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to $202,409

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The market value of the stock is $41.8

Explanation:

Div 1 = Div 0 (1+r)

=3.80 (1+0.10)

=3.80(1.10)

=4.18

Market value of the stock= Dividend 1 / (r-g)

= 4.18 / 0.2 - 0.1

= 4.18 / 0.1

= $41.8

The market value of the stock is $41.8

Seventy new jobs are opening up at an automobile manufacturing plant, and 1000 applicants show up for the 70 positions. To selec
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

  • <em>As explained below, given that the score of the person is among the 0.03125 fraction of the best applicants, </em><u><em>he can count on getting one of the jobs.</em></u>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The hint is to use <em>Chebyshev’s Theorem.</em>

Chebyshev’s Theorem applies to any data set, even if it is not bell-shaped.

Chebyshev’s Theorem states that at least 1−1/k² of the data lie within k standard deviations of the mean.

For this sample you have:

  • mean: 60
  • standard deviation: 6
  • score: 84

The number of standard deviations that 84 is from the mean is:

  • k = (score - mean) / standar deviation
  • k = (84 - 60) / 6 = 24 / 6 = 4

Thus, the score of the person is 4 standard deviations above the mean.

How good is that?

Chebyshev’s Theorem states that at least 1−1/k² of the data lie within k standard deviations of the mean. For k = 4, that is:

  • 1 - 1/4² = 1 - 1/16 = 0.9375

  • That means that half of 1 - 0.9375 are above k = 4: 0.03125

  • Then, 1 - 0.03125 are below k = 4: 0.96875

Since there are 70 positions and 1,000 aplicants, 70/1,000 = 0.07. The compnay should select the best 0.07 of the applicants.

Given that the score of the person is among the 0.03125 upper fraction of the applicants, this person can count of geting one of the jobs.

Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data: Modular Homes Prefab Barns
Olin [163]

Answer:

$266,647

Explanation:

Total Moves = sum of total expected material moves of modular homes and prefab barns  

                    = 580 + 180

                    = 760 Moves

Material handling cost allocated to Modular homes:

= (Expected total materials handling cost ÷ Total moves) ×  total expected material moves of modular homes

= ($349,400 ÷ 760) × 580

= $266,647

If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the modular homes is closest to: $266,647
