A moderately risk-averse investor has 50 percent of her portfolio invested in stocks and 50 percent in risk-free Treasury bill

Cloud [144]

Answer:

increases and decreases

Explanation:

The budget line will become flat and the slope will decrease. The proportion of stocks in the portfolio will fall.

The equation for the budget line is given by,

Rp=((Rm-Rf)/SDm)*SDp + Rj

where Rp is the expected return on the portfolio, Rm is the expected return from investing in the stock market, Rf is the risk-free return on Treasury bills, SDm is the standard deviation of the return from investing in the stock market, and SDp is the standard deviation of the return on the portfolio.

So when the standard deviation of the return on the stock market increases, the slope of the budget line decreases making the budget line to become flatter. The budget line’s intercept stays the same as Rf does not change. As stocks have become riskier without a compensating increase in expected return, the proportion of stocks in the investor’s portfolio will fall.

In general, trademark protection prevents another firm from using the same or a similar name, logo, or other identifying charact

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Firms and organisations need to register their companies as this helps them to avoid any problem related to the company's name and trademark in the future. Furthermore, trademark protection prevents another firm to copy another firms name, logo or tagline which can create confusion in the minds of potential buyers. Trademark protection costs a very minimal amount but protects a company's name.

A customerâ€™s specification for weight of an antiseptic cream sold in plastic tubes is 4.00 ounces Â± 0.02 ounces. The target p

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Cp = 1.667

Cpk = 1.25

The filling process will deliver the customer's specifications since Cp > 1 and Cpk > 1

Explanation:

Given data:

Customer Specification 3.98 4.02

Process Average 4.005

Process Standard Deviation 0.004

Calculate the Cp and Cpk values

Cp = Δ customer specification / ( 6 * std )

= (4.02 - 3.98 ) / ( 6 * 0.04 )

= 0.04 / 0.24 = 0.1667 + 1 = 1.667

Cpk ( upper ) = ( 4.02 - process average ) / ( 3* std )

= ( 4.02 - 4.005 ) / ( 3 * 0.004 ) = 1.25

Cpk ( lower ) = ( process average - 3.98 ) / ( 3 * std )

= ( 4.005 - 3.98 ) / ( 3 * 0.04 ) = 2.083

Cpk = minimum value of Cpk = 1.25

Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $1

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) Product G should be produced and sold

b) Net financial advantage $80

Explanation:

A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.

Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .

$

Revenue after split-off point

($9× 40 litres) 360

Revenue at the slit of point

($4 × 40) (160)

Additional income from further processing 200

Further processing cost ($3× 40) (120)

Incremental income from further processing 80

Incremental income from further processing = $80

a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.

b) Net advantage $80

Sheldon and Morton formed a partnership with capital contributions of $80,000 and $40,000, respectively. Their partnership agree

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The answer is:

Sheldon: $39, 500; Morton: $50, 500

Explanation:

A partnership is a binding agreement between two or more parties to carry on a business. The sole purpose of this agreement is to share skills and expertise so as to generate a profit. In a partnership, the partners have unlimited liability meaning that if the business established by the partners in unable to repay creditors, the creditors are legally allowed to seize the personal assets of the partners to cover the debts owing. However, in accounting for financial performance, the business is considered to be a separate entity (exists independent of the partners). Sheldon and Morton have established a profit-sharing arrangement that compensates Sheldon for the capital contribution (larger interest share) and Morton for his contributions to the business operations (larger salary share). The profit after these deductions is shared equally between the 2 partners. Assuming the given net income is after operations but before partner deductions, the share of the partners is calculated as follows:

Sheldon Morton

Interest $8,000 $4,000

Salaries $10,000 $25,000

Profit share $21, 500 $21, 500

Total share $39, 500 $50, 500

Interest (10% * $80, 000) (10% * $40, 000)

Profit share (50% * $43,000) (50% * $43,000)

Net Profit Share: $90, 000 - $(8,000 + 10,000 + 4,000 + 25,000)= $43,000
