True [87]

Answer:

The answers are:

+ Sales price variance: $65,113,200

+ Sales volume variance: $(239,200,000)

Explanation:

We have detailed calculations shown as below:

Sales price variance = ( Actual unit sales price - budgeted unit sales price) x actual unit sold = ( 26,300 - 26,000) x 217,044 = $65,113,200;

Sales volume variance = ( Actual unit sold - Budgeted unit sold) x budgeted unit sales price = (217,044 - 226,244) x 26,000 = $(239,200,000).

So, for BMW recent year, we have:

+ Sales price variance: $65,113,200;

+ Sales volume variance: $(239,200,000).

You have developed the following data on three stocks: Stock A has a standard deviation of .15 and a Beta of .79. Stock B has a
blondinia [14]

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.
