Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

S^{2}= Σ(X-X)^{2}/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: to historical performance or budget

Explanation:

A profit center in a business is a division that is able to make revenues independently and contribute to the revenue of the entire business. In evaluating the performance of a profit center manager, it is best to compare the performance to a budget or their historical performance.

This is because profit centers engage in different businesses and so their revenue making style will be unique. Some profit centers will make more than others because of the goods they produce or the way they produce it. It is therefore best to compare a profit center to an internal measure such as the budget and historical performance.

If the profit center exceeds either of these then they are performing well.
