<span>It is easier to quantify paid work done outside the home over unpaid housework and childcare because traditional means of tracking economic activity, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) can be used.

Answer: 1.50
Explanation:
Isabel's portfolio beta is a weighted average of the individual stock betas.
= Weight of stock A * Stock A beta + Weight of stock B * Stock B beta + Weight of stock n * Stock n beta
= (20% * 0.4) + (30% * 1.2) + ( 25% * 2.5) + (25% * 1.75)
= 0.08 + 0.36 + 0.625 + 0.4375
= 1.5025
= 1.50
Answer:
Pattison Corporation
Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
$1,500 Favorable
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Fixed Element Variable Element per
per Month Customer Served
Revenue $5,500
Employee salaries
and wages $46,300 $1,000
Travel expenses $ 500
Other expenses $32,500
The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost
= $8,500 - $10,000
= $1,500 Favorable
Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)
= $8,500
Budgeted travel expenses = ($500 x 20)
= $10,000
Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses. The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.
