Answer:

The standard deviation of this portfolio is approximately 39.36%.

Explanation:

This can be calculated by first calculating the variance of this portfolio using the portfolio variance formula as follows:

Portfolio variance = (WS1^2 * SDS1^2) + (WS2^2 * SDS2^2) + (2 * WS1 * SDS1 * WS2 * SDS2 * CFab) ......................... (1)

Where;

WS1 = Weight of Stock 1 = 30%

WS2 = Weight of Stock 2 = 70%

SDS1 = Standard deviation of stock 1 = 39.44%

SDS2 = Standard deviation of stock 2 = 47.29%

CFab = The correlation between stock 1 and 2= 0.4

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

Portfolio variance = (30%^2 * 39.44%^2) + (70%^2 * 47.29%^2) + (2 * 30% * 39.44% * 70% * 47.29% * 0.4)

Portfolio variance = 0.15491445898

The standard deviation of this portfolio can be calculated as follows:

Portfolio standard deviation = (Portfolio variance)^0.5 = 0.15491445898^0.5 = 0.393591741503807, or 39.3591741503807%

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

Portfolio standard deviation = 39.36%

Therefore, the standard deviation of this portfolio is approximately 39.36%.

Pina Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $7 each. The cost of manufacturing 19,900 golf discs i
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

a) <em>Net income using incremental analysis is  </em> $692

b)   PINA should accept the order because it will increase its net income by $692

<em />

Explanation:

The relevant cash flows for decision to accept or reject the special order are

I. the incremental contribution from of producing 5,350 units

2. The incremental fixed cost- 45,374

Note that whether or not the special order is accepted the fixed cost of manufacturing  would be incurred either way.

Contribution per unit =Selling price - Variable cost

Variable production cost per unit = total variable cost / units

                                  = (10,945 + 29651 + 21094)/19,900

                                     =$3.1

Variable cost per unit of sale = $3.1 + $0.35 =  $3.45

a) Incremental Analysis

<em>Change in Net Income:                               $</em>

I<em>ncremental contribution :</em>

( 4.77 - 3.45) ×   5,350 =                           7,062

<em>Increase in Fixed cost</em> :

(45,374 - 39,004)                                     <u>(  6370)</u>

<em>Net income                                               </em><em><u>   692</u></em>

<em><u>b) </u></em>   PINA should accept the order because it will increase its net income by $692

Narver Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Operating data for the Lubricating Department
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

44,780 units

Explanation:

When a company uses the weighted average method in its process costing system, the beginning inventory nor the units transferred in are included in the calculations for equivalent units. Only units transferred out and ending inventory are use to calculate equivalent units:

equivalent units = units transferred out + (ending inventory x % of completion)}

equivalent units = 37,100 units + (9,600 units x 80%) = 37,100 units + 7,680 units = 44,780 units
