Answer:

(2) 4%

Explanation:

The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;

Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2

Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%

Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.

stira [4]

Answer:

a. At lower levels, management have fewer controllable costs

Explanation:

The opposite is true, lower-level management have more controllabe costs than higher level management because top management focuses on the general strategy of the firm, while lower management focuses on the specific production processes.

It is in these specific production processes that many controllable costs arise. A production line supervisor (part of lower-level management) can directly control some variable costs such as energy used, amount of input, or even work hours.
