Answer: a.$275,000
Explanation:
Let us assume local production sales of 0 for simplicity of analysis.
At 0 there will be no Variable Costs and no fixed costs because they are dependant on the amount of units produced.
If then Rylan Corporation receives 25,000 units at $16 per unit this will change the Variable costs as it will have to incorporate the new units.
The question however says that normal production continues. This means that Fixed costs do not change. That means fixed costs remain at $0.
That means the only change will be the Variable costs of selling 25,000 units.
At a rate of $11 per unit we then have,
= 11 * 25,000
= $275,000
The costs have increased by $275,000 from 0 which means that $275,000 is the Incremental cost.
Note that Fixed and Variable costs of 0 are improbable and we're only used for simpler analysis. Feel free to try the question with other number of units for your own practice. You will arrive at the same answer regardless.
Answer:
Option A is riskier
Explanation:
In this question, we want to know which of the two stocks is riskier.
To answer this, we can use the standard deviation of returns as a risk measure.
For a security with a big value for standard deviation of returns, its per period returns are wider making its range per day large.
Hence, what this means is that out of the two stocks, the one with a larger value of standard deviation of returns will guarantee more risk as it is expected to give a better ranges of price
Now back to the values in the question, we can see that the standard deviation of returns of stock A is greater than that of stock B which this makes it a more risky option
Answer:
Beneficiary recognized gain is $510000.
Explanation:
The amount paid by the decedent for the stock = $280000
The market value of the stock at the time of death = $500000
The selling price or the amount received by the beneficiary by the sell of stock = $510000
Since the recognized gain is calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the person to buy the stock from the amount that he receives from the sale of stock. But in this case, the beneficiary pays zero for the stock but gets all the money after selling.
Beneficiary recognized gain = amount received from the sell – the amount paid by the beneficiary.
= $510000 – 0
= $510000
