Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,600 units of Product A and 2,400 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution marg

ins for Products A and B are $34 and $59, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $378,000. The break-even point in units is a.9,450 units b.11,340 units c.7,560 units d.14,175 units

,Answer: a. 9,450 units

Explanation:

You need to find the weighted average contribution margin for both products.

Product A

Weighted average contribution margin = Contribution margin * Units sold / Total units sold

= 34 * 7,600 / (7,600 + 2,400)

= $25.84

Product B

= 59 * 2,400 / 10,000

= $14.16

Breakeven point in units = Fixed costs/ (Weighted average contribution margin of both A and B)

= 378,000 / (25.84 + 14.16)

= 9,450 units

Arbor Systems and Gencore stocks both have a volatility of 33%. Compute the volatility of a portfolio with 50% invested in each
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

<h3>In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock</h3>

Explanation:

The formula to compute the volatility of a portfolio

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

Here,

The standard deviation of the first stock is σ₁

The standard deviation of the second stock is σ₂

The weight of the first stock W₁

The weight of the second stock W₂

The correlation between the stock c

a) If the correlation between the stock is +1

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times1} \\\\=0.33

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.33 0r 33%

b) If the correlation between the stock is 0.50

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.5} \\\\=0.29

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.29 0r 29%

c) If the correlation between the stock is 0.00

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.0} \\\\=0.23

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.23 0r 23%

d) If the correlation between the stock is -0.50

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-0.5} \\\\=0.17

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.17 or 17%

e) If the correlation between the stock is -1

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-1} \\\\=0

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

For Material 80,000

For Conversion 72,000

Explanation:

The computation of equivalent units of production for the bath linens department for August is shown below:-

                                     <u>Materials</u>               <u>Conversion</u>  

Units completed and

transferred out              60,000                   60,000

Units in process,

August 31                      20,000                   12,000

                                                               (20,000 × 60%)

Equivalent units of

production                   80,000                   72,000

Therefore to reach out the equivalent units of production we simply added the units completed and transferred out with Units in process Aug 31 of material and conversion.

Consider a corrupt provincial government in which each housing inspector examines two newly built structures each week. All the
Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
