Answer:

16.7

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the variance of returns of the portfolio

First step is to calculate the mean

Mean = (20% + 25% + 30%) / 3

Mean =75% / 3

Mean = 25%

Now let calculate the variance of returns of the portfolio

Portfolio variance of returns = {(20 − 25)^2 + (25 − 25)^2 + (30 − 25)^2} / 3

Portfolio variance of returns=25+0+25/3

Portfolio variance of returns=50/3

Portfolio variance of returns= 16.7

Therefore the variance of returns of the portfolio will be 16.7

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

It is more profitable to sell the units for scrap.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Defective units= 16,000 units

Selling price dor scrap= $2.60

Reworked cost= $4.80 each

Selling price= $8.10 each.

If the units are sold as-is, the company will be able to build 16,000 replacement units for $5.50 each and sell them at the full price of $8.10 each.

The cost of 16,000 units produced is a sunk cost, therefore, it shouldn't be a part of the decision making.

Sell as it is:

Sell scrap= 16,000*2.9= 46,400

New units= 16,000*(8.10 - 5.50)= 41,600

Total income= $88,000

Continue processing:

Reworked sales= 16,000*(8.1 - 4.8)= $52,800

It is more profitable to sell the units for scrap.

In this scenario, Blue Tech Inc.'s failure can be best attributed to "Time compression diseconomies."

We accept time compression diseconomies where the snappier a firm builds up the asset, the higher the improvement cost. We demonstrate that time compression diseconomies normally offer ascent to asset heterogeneity and henceforth upper hand in that one firm builds up the asset quicker than the other. We evaluate the supportability of the upper hand, determine conditions

under which the asset is "incomparable" and demonstrate that firm benefits are nonmonotonic in the degree of time compression diseconomies.
