Answer:

The volatility of this equally weighted portfolio is closest to 0.31

Explanation:

Individual Stock + ( 1 - 1/n) * Average Covariance between the stocks

Var = ( 1 / 5) (0.40)2 + ( 1 - 1/5) (0.5( (0.4) (0.4)

Var = 0.096

standard deviation = Square root of variance

= Square root of 0.096

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Perpetual batteries has 2 options in order to meet its ethical responsibilities:

  1. Try to make sure that their system is 100% leak proof, but that would be very hard to do (systems are rarely perfect) and the public might not believe them. If the public does not believe them, they might still suffer form lower sales.
  2. Change the design of their batteries so that they no longer need to use the harmful chemical, and instead use environmentally friendly processes. This option is better because this change can be used to both solve environmental issues and helps to promote the company's image as green or environmentally friendly which can increase their sales volume.

Mkey [24]

The amount that will be received as payment in full by the seller after deducting the return of $250, and applying the 2/10, net/30 terms will be equal to $4,361 on May 4.

<h3>What is the 2/10, net/30 rule?</h3>

2/10 Net 30 refers back to the change credit offered to a customer for the sale of products or services. 2/10 net 30 approach that if the amount due is paid within 10 days, the customer will experience a 2% discount.

Otherwise, the amount is due in complete within 30 days.

As per the information:

Selling price: $4,700

Discount: 2% (if paid within 10 days of purchase)

returned: $250

The actual amount to be received by the seller:

\rm\, Actual \,Amount \,to\, be\, Received = (\$4,700 - \$250) \\\rm\, Actual \,Amount \,to\, be\, Received= \$4,450 \times 0.02 \\\rm\, Actual \,Amount \,to\, be\, Received= \$4,450 - \$89 \\\rm\, Actual \,Amount \,to\, be\, Received= \$4,361

Hence, The amount that will be received as payment in full by the seller after deducting the return of $250, and applying the 2/10, net/30 rule will be equal to $4,361 on May 4.

Genie in a Bottle Company (GBC) manufactures plastic two-liter bottles for the beverage industry. The cost standards per 100 two
yan [13]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the costs are per 100, to calculate total standard we multiply by 400,000/100 = 4000 and actual qty then is 4060.

For A, standard cost budget at standard prices.

Direct Labor            (2*4000)          = $8,000

Direct Material     (9.1*4000)        = $36,400

Factory Overhead  (0.55*4000)    = $2,200

Total                                                        = $46,600

For B, The total cost variances are as follows,

Material cost variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) * Actual Quantity  

where, Standard price = 9.1 and Actual price = (35750/4060) = $8.81

Variance = (9.1 - 8.81) * 4060  = $1177.4 Favorable

Direct labor cost variance = (Standard rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Quantity

where, Standard rate = 2 and Actual rate = (7540/4060) = $1.86

Variance = (2-1.86) * 4060  = $568.4 Favorable

Factory Overhead variance

= Standard applied - Actual applied  

Variance = (0.55*4060) - 2680     = $447 Unfavorable

Net effect on total cost variances = (1177.4+568.4-447) = $1298.8 Favorable

For c)

The over all cost performance has favored the business as they ere able to lessen costs in direct labor and material department. However, the fixed costs performance has deteriorated and there may be some technical issues that the company can deal with to ensure they perform better on fixed costs. The over all performance is favorable.
