Answer:

For X $150

For Y $100

Explanation:

The computation of optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio is shown below:-

Risk portfolio = Complete portfolio × Weight of risky portfolio

= $1,000 × 25%

= $250

So, Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio will be

For X in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of X

= $250 × 60%

= $150

For Y in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of Y

= $250 × 40%

= $100

Therefore for computing the Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio we simply multiply the risk portfolio with optimal percentage of X and in the similar way of Y.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

1.  $173,500

2. $ 71,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1: Solution

We can calculate the fair value of new parcel of land just by adding the current market price with additional cash paid to complete the transaction

Fair Value = Current market price + cash paid additionally

Fair Value = $150,000+$23,500

Fair value = $173,500

Requirement 2: Solution

We need to calculate Gain/loss on exchange first in order to record them on books. This can be done by just subtracting the land's book value from the current market price of land

Gain/loss on exchange = Current market price - book value

Gain/loss on exchange = $150,000 - $79,000

Gain/loss on exchange = $71,000

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Total cost= $170,472

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct material= $21,360

Direct labor= $33,600

Variable overhead= $18,000

FIxed overhead= $46,440

Henderson planned to sell 2,000 units during the period, but sold 3,400 units.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= total variable cost/number of units

Unitary variable cost= (72,960/2,000)= $36.48

Now, we can calculate the total cost for 3,400 units

Total cost= total fixed cost  + total variable cost

Total cost= 46,440 + (36.48*3,400)= $170,472

Cost of producing

Direct materials - 90000

Direct labor - 130000

Variable factory overhead - 60000

Fixed factory overhead - 60000

Total cost - 340000

Cost of buying `10000*36 = 360000

Incremental cost of buying = 360000-340000 = $20,000

It is cheaper to produce at 340000/10000 = $34 /unit

In making a decision whether to buy or manufacture , variable cost and the  avoidable costs are considered relevant for this purpose
