Answer: -0.24

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a weighted average of the betas of the individual stocks in it.

The portfolio beta before the replacement is;

= (1.4 * 150,000/375,000) + (0.8 * 50,000/375,000) + ( 1 * 100,000/375,000) + (75,000 * 75,000/375,000)

= 0.56 + 0.11 + 0.27 + 0.24

= 1.17

After the replacement, portfolio beta will be;

=  (0.75 * 150,000/375,000) + (0.8 * 50,000/375,000) + ( 1 * 100,000/375,000) + (75,000 * 75,000/375,000)

= 0.32 + 0.11 + 0.27 + 0.24

= 0.93

The change is therefore;

= 0.93 - 1.17

= -0.24

Using this formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR

Let plug in the formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F

Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F
