Answer:

    Variance = 5.44

Explanation:

The variance of a portfolio is a measure of the deviation of the returns of the assets making up the portfolio. Using the standard deviation, the variance can be worked out.

<em>Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks.</em>

<em>Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company . </em>

<em>The variance would be determined as follows:</em>

Variance = Sum of  P×(R- r )^2  

P- probality

R- return on each asset

r- Expected return on portfolio

r =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb)

Expected return (r) = (9% × 0.68 ) + (4% × 0.32) = 7.4 %

Outcome                 R          (R- r )^2             P×(R- r )^2  

Recession              9              2.56                1.74

Boom                     4             11.56               <u>  3.70 </u>

Total                                                           <u>  5.44 </u>

Variance = Sum of  P×(R- r )^2  

    Variance = 5.44

Explanation:

The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.

Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.

kupik [55]

Answer:

(C) $745

Explanation:

The computation is given below:

For computing the bad debt  expense, first we have to determine the ending account receivable balance which is shown below:

Ending account receivable balance = Beginning account receivable + credit sales - collections - written off amount

= $20,000 + $70,000 - $74,700 - $400

= $15,300

So, the bad debt expense is

= Ending account receivable × given percentage

= $15,300 × 5%

= $745
