Answer: c. $18,000 increase

Explanation:

Department margin was $100,000 in September.

October Margin = Sales - Variable Costs - Traceable Fixed Costs

= (2,000 *( 210 - 25 - 80 - 15) ) - 62,000

= (2,000 * 90) - 62,000

= $118,000

= October Margin - September Margin

= 118,000 - 100,000

= $18,000 increase

DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS

MAKE BUY

Variable cost $144,900 $0

(2,100*$69)

Fixed cost $46,200 $0

(2,100*55*40%)

Purchase cost $0 (2100*76) = $159,600

Total relevant cost $191,100 $159,600

Now let determine the Increase or decrease of the company's operating income

Increase by =($191,100- $159,600)

Increase by = $31,500

Therefore Buying the valves from the outside supplier instead of making them would cause the company's operating income to: Increase by $31,500

Ellen used a coupon at a restaurant for a certain percent discount of the meal. What percent discount did she receive?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The question is not clear, but it is assumed that the discount is a rate previously established on the coupon. This can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, etc. For this reason no calculations are made to determine the relationship between what is requested in the question and what Ellen could actually receive as a benefit.

You wish to invest in a portfolio of stocks A (50%) and B (50%). The risk free rate is 2%. A B Expected Return (%) 10 18 Beta 1.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The portfolio rate of return is 14%

Explanation:

The portfolio's rate of return is the weighted average of the expected rate of return =s of the individual stocks that form up the portfolio. Thus the formula for rate of return of a portfolio is,

Portfolio rate of return = wA * rA + wB * rB

Where,

  • wA is the weight of security A in the portfolio
  • wB is the weight of Security B in the portfolio
  • rA is the rate of return of Stock A
  • rB is the rate of return of Stock B

So, the portfolio return is,

rP or Portfolio return = 0.5 * 0.1 + 0.5 * 0.18

rP = 0.14 or 14%
