<span>First we must determine the cost of goods sold during November. For this we use beginning inventory ($368,000) + purchases ($217,500) - ending inventory ($226,750). This gives us a total cost of goods sold for November of $358,750.
Then, we take the net sales ($1,000,000) minus the cost of goods sold ($358,750) which equals our gross profit of $641,250.
Finally we divide gross profit ($641,250) by net sales ($1,000,000) to determine the gross profit rate to be 64.125%</span>
Answer:
The portfolio SD is A. 20.65%
Explanation:
The standard deviation tells the total risk (both systematic and unsystematic) associated with a stock or a portfolio. The portfolio risk or the standard deviation of portfolio can be calculated using the following formula as attached in the picture below.
Using this formula, the standard deviation of the portfolio is:
SDp = √(0.3)² * (0.2)² + (0.7)² * (0.25)² + 2 * (0.3)*(0.7) * 0.4 * (0.2)*(0.25)
Portfolio SD = 0.20645 or 20.645% rounded off to 20.65%
Answer:
The main conflict that results between planning and control use of budgets is that managers might place their own personal interests before the interests of the company. This might result in budgets that are easily achievable (resulting in bonuses) or shifting income from one period to another in order to achieve certain budgets that will result in bonuses.
I will use a real life example that happened to me to explain this. I worked as a B2B sales representative for a large corporation (we were only 2 B2B salespeople + 1 manager) and when sales were slowing down, upper management would set up bonuses for achieving certain sales goals. The problem was that intentionally certain large sales that required management's approval were delayed and total sales would fall. Then suddenly the bonus show sup and all the large sales were approved and in two weeks the sales goals were achieved. Since B2B sales are not about selling to a lot of customers, but instead selling to the right customers a lot of products, a couple of delayed big sales made a huge difference and a 1% bonus meant changing your old car for a new one.
