Answer:

1. Variable cost = Shipping costs

Fixed cost = Health Insurance

Mixed cost = Maintenance costs

Shipping costs are variable because a unit shipped costs $3.60. The total shipping cost for each month varies according to the units shipped in the month.

Health Insurance costs are fixed as there is no change in cost notwithstanding the number of employees in each month. The total health insurance cost remains the same every month.

Maintenance costs are mixed for each month, as there is a fixed element and a variable element.

2. Cost function for each cost:

Maintenance = $4,200 + $2.10 per machine hour

Health Insurance = $8,600

Shipping cost = $3.60 per unit

3. Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

where m = machine hours

and s = units shipped

4. The total operating cost for the month

= $46,040

November 5271 510 8600 97 20124 5590

December 4760 275 8600 94 34596 9610

Cost Function for each cost:

Maintenance cost:

Machine Cost

Hours

November 510 5271

February 120 4452

Difference 390 819

Variable cost = $2.10 (819/390)

Fixed cost = $4,200 ($5,271 - ($2.10*510))

Health Insurance:

Fixed cost = $8,600

Shipping cost:

Variable cost = $3.60 per unit

Cost function = $4,200 + $2.10m + $8,600 + $3.60s

= $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

February cost = $12,800 + $2.1(120) + $3.6(8240)

= $12,800 + $252 + $29,664

= $42,716

IF:

Machine hours = 400

Employees = 80

Shipped units = 9,000

The total operating cost for the month will be:

Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

= $12,800 + ($2.1 * 400) + ($3.6 * 9,000)

= $12,800 + $840 + $32,400

= $46,040

NARA [144]

From the details that are contained in the question, the portfolio standard deviation is 0.0544 or 5.44%

<h3>How to solve for the portfolio standard deviation</h3>

w1 = weight of euros 1 = 500000/800000

w2 = weight of canadian dollars = 300000/800000

Standard deviation 1 = 8%

Standard deviation 2 = 3%

Correlation coefficient = 0.30

(w1*σ1)² + (w2*σ2)² + (2* w1*σ1* w2*σ2 * 0.30)^0.5

$((0.625*0.08)^{2} +(0.375*0.03)^{2} +(2*0.625*0.08*0.375*0.03*0.3)^0^.^5\\\\= 0.0544$

Therefore the portfolio standard deviation is given as 0.0544 or 5.44%
