Answer:

Portfolio Mean return = 11%

Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

Option a is the correct answer

Explanation:

The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,

Portfolio Mean = wA * rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each security
  • r represents the mean return of each security

The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium

The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%

Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15%  +  40% * 5%

Portfolio Mean return = 11%

The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,

Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security

Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15

Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

balandron [24]

Answer:

103,500 units

Explanation:

Equivalent units calculation - conversion costs

Completed and transferred units (99,100 x 100 %)   = 99,100 units

Ending Work in Process units (11000 x 40%)             =  4,400 units

Total Equivalent units                                                  = 103,500 units

therefore,

The equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June were 103,500 units
