Answer:
As a risk minimizer : Stock A has the lowest standard deviation, thus, it should be chosen, if it is to be held in isolation . Also stock B has the lowest beta, thus,it should be chosen, if it is to be held as part of a well - diversified portfolio.
The answer is A and B respectively
Explanation:
The standalone risk or standard deviation of the stocks is alleviated for a well diversified investor . So, in that case, the relevant risk would be the market risk or the beta.
When you see in isolation, relevant risk would be the standard deviation.
Therefore, as a risk minimizer : Stock A has the lowest standard deviation, thus, it should be chosen, if it is to be held in isolation . Also stock B has the lowest beta, thus,it should be chosen, if it is to be held as part of a well - diversified portfolio.

Answer:
Pine Street should sell finished bookcases because they have a higher contribution margin.
Explanation:
We compare the contribution margin of the two categories to find out whether Pine Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases.
Pine Street Inc.
Unfinished bookcases
Contribution Margin
Sales Price $58.10
Less Production costs
Variable Costs $37.49
<u>Fixed Costs $10.50 (47.99)</u>
<u>Contribution Margin $ 10.11</u>
Pine Street should sell finished bookcases because they have a higher contribution margin. It is almost double of the unfinished book cases contribution margin.
Pine Street Inc.
Finished bookcases
CONTRIBUTION MARGIN
Sales Price $74.91
Less Production costs
Variable Costs $37.49 + $5.79 = $ 43.28
<u>Fixed Costs $10.50 $ (53.78)</u>
<u>Contribution Margin $ 21.13</u>
<em>Answer</em>:
<u>$52,000</u>
Explanation:
Remember, the FIFO inventory costing method records the inventory value based on the cost of the earliest (first) purchased or in hand balance.
The effective tax rate would usually be applied after the sales, however using FIFO we assume the first value of the inventory prior to the tax deduction.
= 4000 x $13
= $52,000
Therefore, the gross profit for the period is $52,000.
