Answer:

Expected Return = 10.80%

Standard Deviation = 19.72%

Explanation:

Amount invested in Standard & Poor’s Depository Receipts = 60%

Expected return of Standard & Poor’s Depository Receipts = 10%

standard deviation of Standard & Poor’s Depository Receipts = 20%

Amount invested in MSCI EAFE Index Fund = 40%

Expected return of MSCI EAFE Index Fund = 12%

Standard deviation of MSCI EAFE Index Fund = 30%

Correlation between the two investments = 35%

Now,

Expected Return = ∑(Amount invested × Expected rate of return)

= 0.60 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.12

or

= 10.80%

Standard Deviation = √(∑(Amount invested × Standard deviation))²

= √[(0.60)²(0.20)² + (0.40)²(0.30)² + 2(0.60)(0.40)(0.20)(030)(0.35)]

or

Standard Deviation = 19.72%

Alles Company uses a job costing system that applies factory overhead on the basis of direct labor dollars. No job was in proces
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(a)

For Job G15:

Direct labor = $20,000

Overhead applied = 16,000

Overhead rate = \frac{16,000}{20,000}\times 100

                         = 0.8 × 100

                         = 80%

Overhead applied = Direct labor × 80%

                         = $20,000 × 80%

                         = $16,000

Overhead is applied on direct labor. Hence, rate is 80%.

Overhead for Job B10 = Direct labor × 80%

                                     = $54,000  × 80%

                                     = $43,200

Therefore,

Total overhead applied = $43,200 + 45,750 + 16,000

                                        = $104,950

(b) Hence,

Overapplied overhead for February:

= Total overhead applied - Actual Overhead

= $104,950 - $68,500

= $36,450

horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Stress in the work environment can occur due to several factors, such as excessive pressure, long working hours, conflicts with colleagues and superiors, inadequate salary, insecurity, etc.

It is a factor considered the evil of the century, due to the high competitiveness in the market and faster and faster economic changes, which ends up increasing the company's expectation regarding the employee.

It is important for organizations to adopt a posture that focuses on the needs of employees, so that they are able to measure the level of job satisfaction and implement measures that reduce stress factors in the workplace.

It is also important that the worker seeks to manage his stress through small attitudes, such as establishing a list of tasks, managing his time, seeking to have a better relationship with co-workers, avoiding procrastination, etc.

Sphinxa [80]

Question:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.      

A) saving; increased  

B) population growth; decreased

C) depreciation; decreased

D) total output growth; decreased

Answer

The correct answer is  A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.

Explanation

Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which

MPK = δ,

Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;

so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.

In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .
