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%.

Problem 9-18 Comprehensive Variance Analysis [LO9-4, LO9-5, LO9-6]
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased

= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800

= $0.45 * 15,800

= $7110 (Unfavorable)

Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price  

(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2

= (10,600 -  10,800) * $2

= 200 * $2

= 400 (Favorable)

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours

= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100

= 0.3 * 2,100

= 630 (Favorable)

Labor Efficiency variance  = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) *  Standard rate  

= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6

= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6

= 600 * 6.6

= 3960 (Unfavorable)

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances

Variable overhead rate variance  = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)

= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)

= 3,000 - 2,520

= 480 Unfavorable

Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate

= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10    

= (1200 - 900) * 2.10

= 300 * 2.10

= 630 (Unfavorable)

2.    Variances                                            Amount

Material price variance                             7,110 U

Material quantity variance                         400 F

Labor rate variance                                    630 F

Labor efficiency variance                           3,960 U

Variable overhead rate variance               480 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance      <u>630 U</u>

Net variance                                                <u>11,150 U</u>

<u></u>

The net variance of all the variance of the month is 11,150 (Unfavorable)

Elena L [17]
True

<span>Labeling theory is a sociological and criminological theory stating that a strong, negative reaction from society to an individual's crime or misbehavior can drive that individual to be more deviant by affecting (negatively) his/her self concept and by preventing him/her from gaining access to conventional opportunities.
</span>
Extralegal factors are those that are not covered or regulated by law. Examples of these factors or variables include gender, age, social class, race and economic status. Consciously or not, these variables can be taken as "biases" that may affect prosecution and arrest of certain individuals.
