Conventional wisdom says one should measure a manager's investment performance over an entire market cycle. What arguments suppo

White raven [17]

Answer:

In every form of analysis, it is always safer to take a macro or holistic view of the situation. This is true for the investment performance of a manager. One investment decision that went right does not suffice to classify an investment portfolio manager as proficient, neither is one that went south enough to tag him deficient.

The forecasting ability of managers, on the balance of probability, will vary for different cases, with a helicopter view of providing a more accurate measure of their performance.

However, if it was possible to analyse the market for volatility and adjust our forecasts it becomes unnecessary to look at and analyse all the information from a 12-month cycle before coming to terms about the performance of the manager.

Cheers!

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, th

melomori [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead based on direct labor-hours.

The company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $243,300 and 8,300 estimated direct labor-hours.

Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,400 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,800.

To determine the over or under application of manufacturing overhead, first, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:

predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,300= 29.28

Now, we can calculate the allocated overhead:

Allocated manufacturing overhead= predetermined manufacturing overhead rate* actual hours= 29.28*5800= $169,824

Finally, we can determine the under or over allocation:

Under/over allocation= real manufacturing overhead - allocated manufacturing overhead= 244400 - 169824= $74,576 underallocated
