Answer:

D. 12.20%

Explanation:

Stock X Weight = 0.60

Stock Y Weight = 0.40

sdX = 10%

sdY = 20%

Portfolio Variance = w2X*sd2(X) + w2X*sd2(Y) + 2*(wX)*(wY)*Cov(X, Y)

Where: wX and wY are portfolio weights, sd2(X) and sd2(Y) are variances and

Cov(X, Y) is the covariance

Correlation = 0.5

Cov(X, Y) = Correlation * sd(X) * sd(Y)

= 0.50 * 0.10 * 0.20

= 0.01

Portfolio Variance = 0.60^2 * 0.10^2 + 0.40^2 * 0.20^2 + 2 * 0.60 * 0.40 * 0.01

Portfolio Variance = 0.0036 + 0.0064 + 0.0048

Portfolio Variance = 0.0148

sd(P) = √Variance = 0.121655 = 12.20%

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Total Material cost variance  $5,600  favorable

Explanation:

<em>The direct matriculate total variance is he difference between the standard material cost for the actual output achieved and the actual material cost of the same output</em>

Standard materiel cost per unit = 0.25 × $30 = $7.5  per unit

                                                                                                  $

5,000 units should have cost (5000×  $7.5) =                    37,500

but did cost  (actual cost        1,000 × $29                          <u> 31,900 </u>

The capabilities used to create the sustainability/green initiatives at Walmart and Target are ______ but less likely to be ____
TEA [102]

Answer:

Letter C is correct. <u>Socially complex; rare.</u>

Explanation:

Organizations are increasingly incorporating ecological sustainability initiatives in their processes and activities, this is mainly due to the phenomenon of social complexity, which is the study of human behavior in several broad and complex circumstances that impact individual and group existence, such as example natural disasters, political movements, marriage practices, emigration patterns and others.

Man is not merely a passive agent, but a searcher for fundamental goals for himself and for society for improvement and survival.

Therefore, it is correct to say that organizations' sustainability initiatives are increasingly present in the current world, and that is why they are not uncommon, because sustainability is already seen as a phenomenon of social complexity, where companies that do not act according to sustainable parameters do not they are well regarded by society, which wants to consume products and services from companies in line with the highest social and environmental standards, which act as an active agent for improving the quality of social life.

Lamont Communications has amortized a patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired in 2010 at a cost of $50 million. Du
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Explanation:

Patent acquisition date is 2010

Cost of acquisition = $50 million

Initial Useful life = 20 years

Annual amortization = $50,000,000/20

                                  = $2,500,000

Between 2010 and start of 2013 is 3 years

Carrying value at the start of 2013

= 50,000,000 - 3(2,500,000)

= $42,500,000

If patent would be received over a total period of 8 years rather than the 20-year legal life being used to amortize the cost,

Patent amortization expense in 2013 = $42,500,000/8

                                                              = $5,312,500

This can be estimated as $5 million.

The right option is C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

The Fan Cost Index​ (FCI) represents the cost of four​ average-price​ tickets, refreshments, and souvenirs to a sporting event.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The hockey FCI is $53.57 and the golf FCI is 45.12$.

Explanation:

The hockey FCI (HFCI) is $8.45 more expensive than the golf FIC (GFCI). You know that both FICs are in total: $98.69.  

1- Subtract $8.45 from the total of $98.69: $90.24.

2- Split the remaining amount in half: $90.24/2: $45.12.  

3- The HFCI is $45.12 + $8.45: $53.57.

   The GFCI is $45.12.  

If you add both FCIs you should get the total $98.69:

$53.57 + $45.12: $98.69$

The hockey FCI is $53.57 and the golf FCI is 45.12$.

I hope this answer helps you!
