Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. VaR = Expected return - z × Standard deviation
= 13% - 1.645 × 20%
= -19.90%
Therefore the option a is the correct answer.
2) Now the correlation coefficient is
Variance of the portfolio = (weight of A × Standard deviation 1)^2 + (weight of B × Standard deviation 2)^2 + (2 × weight of A × weight of B × Standard deviation 1 × Standard deviation 2 × correlation 1 and 2)
3.80% = (60% × 24%)^2 + (40% × 18%)^2 + (2 × 60% × 40% × 24% × 18% × correlation 1 and 2)
So the correlation is 0.583
Business ethics will never tell you exactly what to do in all decisions. The study of business ethics is designed to help you understand the importance of your decisions, inform you of impacts, describe the ethical decision-making process, and help you recognize ethical issues, but it will not tell you what to do. It will simply give you the tools necessary to make a decision.
Answer: $256
Explanation:
Using time and materials pricing, the total price for a job requiring 3 direct labor hours and $54 of materials will be calculated as:
Materials = $54
Add: Materials markup = 30% × $54 = 0.3 × $54 = $16.2 = $16
Add: Labour = 3 × $62 = $186
Total price of job = $256
Answer:
$160 overapplied
Explanation:
Icy Mocha company estimates it's factory overhead costs to be $35,000 and machine hours to be 5,000 for a period of one year.
The actual number of hours worked on job 333 and 334 equals a total of 4,980
The actual factory overhead costs are $34,700
The first step is to calculate the predetermined overhead rate
= Overhead costs/machine hours
= $35,000/5,000
= $7
The amount of either over or underapplied factory costs can be calculated as follows
= predetermined overhead rate×actual number of hours worked
= $7×4,980
= $34,860
The amount is then subtracted from the actual overhead costs
= $34,700-$34860
= -$160
= $160 overapplied
Hence the amount of overapplied factory overhead is $160
