Answer:

14.82%

Explanation:

The standard deviation of a portfolio is the \sqrt{variance }

standard deviation of stock X = 25%

standard deviation of stock Y = 16%

weight of X = 50%

weight of Y = 50%

correlation coefficient = 0

therefore portfolio standard deviation

= \sqrt{Wx^{2} } Sdx^{2} + Wy ^{2}Sdy^{2}+2Wx*Sdx * Sdy* Wy *R    -- equation 1

Wx = weight of stock x

Wy = weight of stock y

Sdx = standard deviation of stock x

Sdy = standard deviation of stock y

R = correlation coefficient

back to equation 1

\sqrt{(0.5^{2} }*0.25^{2}  ) + (0.5^{2}*0.16^{2}) + ( 2 * 0.5 *0.25 *0.16*0.5 *0 )

= \sqrt{0.015625 + 0.0064}   = \sqrt{0.022025}

therefore standard deviation of new portfolio = 0.1482 = 14.82%

Answer:

The portfolio standard deviation is 14.82%

Explanation:

The portfolio standard deviation would be calculated by finding out the variance of the portfolio and taking the square root of it.

Variance of the portfolio = [(1 - .50)^{2} x 0.25^{2}] + [0.50^{2} x 0.16^{2}] + [2 x (1 - 0.50) x 0.50 x 0.25 x 0.16 x 0]

= [0.25 x 0.0625] + [0.25 x 0.0256] + [0]

= 0.015625 + 0.0064

VarPort = 0.022025

Std DevPort  = √0.022025

Std DevPort = 0.1482 = 14.82 percent

LekaFEV [45]

Based on the labor hours and the overhead rate as well as the fixed cost, the total budgeted overhead cost will be $12,500.

<h3>What is the budgeted overhead cost?</h3>

This can be found as:

= (Variable cost per labor hour x Number of labor hours) + Fixed overhead cost

Solving gives:

= (20 x 600) + 500

= 12,000 + 500

= $12,500

In conclusion, the total overhead cost that would be budgeted is $12,500.

A data safety monitoring board report for an investigator-initiated investigational drug study indicates a significantly higher
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

This can be classified as an unanticipated problem.

Explanation:

During an investigational drug study the rate of risk of expected adverse events is indicated to be greater than what was initially expected. The current subjects need to be reconsented and the consent form needs to be updated to include this higher rate

Since the rate of an expected adverse event is greater than what was anticipated in the beginning and puts subjects and others at risk, this poses an unanticipated problem.

Volgvan

Answer:

Assets and liabilities both will increase by $70,000.

Explanation:

Given data provided

Purchase land = $100,000

Cash payment = $30,000

The computation of net effect is shown below:-

= Purchase land - Cash payment

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

Therefore, for computing the net effect we simply deduct cash payment from purchase land. So, Assets and liabilities both will increase by $70,000.

irina [24]

Answer: c. valid

Explanation:

Even though at the time the contract was executed by the agent it was unauthorized, the fact that the company then ratifies the contract means that they agree with it and have now authorized it.

This would validate the contract because it now has the consent of the party that it was signed for which is Mindwonder Games LLC. Had the contract not been ratified then it would have been void.
