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:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Variable manufacturing costs 288,000
Unitary variable costs= 288,000/24,000= $12
Rhythm Company has offered to purchase 3,000 IT-54s at $16 each. No variable selling costs will be incurred.
Because it is a special offer and there is available capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= 3,000*(16-12)= $12,000 increase
Answer:
FiFo method as prices are continuously increasing
Explanation:
Date Units Cost Per Unit Cost
June 1 150 units $ 1,040 6.93
June 10 200 units 1,560 7.8
June 15 200 units 1,680 8.4
June 28 150 units 1,320 8.8
$5,600
As the unit price is increasing the method which yields the highest gross profit would be FIFO.But in some cases the income is overstated as the beginning inventory is too old to account for . Similarly Lifo gives lower net income but that too is not very beneficial when the inventory is almost obsolete.
The average method gives a measure in between FIFO and LIFO.
Answer:
The correct option is (C)
Explanation:
To be able to claim somebody as a dependent, the person has to qualify 4 tests. They are:
- Lineal descendant
- Must live with the taxpayer for more than a year
- Should be below 19 years or under 24 if a full time student
- Cannot file return on their own.
If a person who is not a lineal descendant to be claimed as a dependent needs to be a part of taxpayer's household for 365 days (whole year).
In this case, taxpayer's cousin is not a lineal descendant. Rest of them (sister, father and son-in-law) are lineal descendants. So, cousin has to stay with the taxpayer for the entire year.
