andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The portfolio SD is A. 20.65%

Explanation:

The standard deviation tells the total risk (both systematic and unsystematic) associated with a stock or a portfolio. The portfolio risk or the standard deviation of portfolio can be calculated using the following formula as attached in the picture below.

Using this formula, the standard deviation of the portfolio is:

SDp = √(0.3)² * (0.2)² + (0.7)² * (0.25)² + 2 * (0.3)*(0.7) * 0.4 * (0.2)*(0.25)

Portfolio SD = 0.20645 or 20.645% rounded off to 20.65%

American Express and other credit card issuers must by law print the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on their monthly statements. I
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 19.56%

Explanation:

Effective Rate of Return is the rate that takes into account, the compounding influence of interest rates in a given period.

It is calculated with the formula,

= ( 1 + r/n) ^ n - 1

Where

r = APR

n = no of compounding periods in a year

Interest is paid monthly so nnumber of periods will be 12.

Therefore,

EFF = ( 1 + 18%/12)¹² - 1

EFF = 19.56%

Which of the following is an example of how the Principle of Beneficence can be applied to a study employing human subjects?A. P
AVprozaik [17]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Determining that the study has a maximization of benefits and a minimization of risks is the best example of how the Principle of Beneficence can be applied to a study employing human subjects.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The principle of beneficence demands that the human subjects have self-determination. Also if some of the human subjects do not have the power to take decisions, the  investigators should make sure that the human subjects are not harmed. The  researchers should increase the chances of benefits and decrease the amount of risk.

The research studies which include human subjects, even those that have very little risk  should not be taken into consideration if it does not create scientifically valid or presents  us new facts. It is very confusing for the researchers to determine when the benefits  should be taken into consideration because of the risks and benefits should be sought  despite the risks.

Machine-hours                                          23,000        33,000        56,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $790,000   $200,000    $990,000

Plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours:

= $990,000/56,000

= $17.68

Total manufacturing overhead costs  $918,800    $384,800  $1,303,600

Overhead rate

Molding = $39.9478 ($918,800/23,000)

Fabrication = $11.6606  ($384,800/33,000)

Assignment of manufacturing overhead:

                      Job D-70     Job C-200

Molding       $639,165        $279,635
