Explanation:

In the first case, there is need to calculate the expected return                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  of each stock by multiplying the return by probability.

In the second case, we need to obtain the variance. The square root of variance gives the standard deviation. Variance is calculated by deducting the expected return from the actual return, then, raised the         difference by power 2 multiplied by probability.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

$3.75

Explanation:

As we already know that

Direct materials quantity variance = (Budged pounds of direct material  - Actual pounds of direct material) × Standard rate

$1,500 unfavorable  = (4,400 pounds - 4,800 pounds) × Standard rate

$1,500 unfavorable  = 400 × Standard rate

So, standard rate is

= $1,500 ÷ $400

= $3.75

We simply applied the above formula

<h3>What is Depreciation?</h3>

The claim for depreciation on assets used by the assessee for the purpose of business or profession during the previous year. If an asset has been in use for more than 180 days, depreciation of 50% is allowable in that year.

Depreciation in Action - If a company purchases a delivery truck for Rs. 100,000 and expects to use it for 5 years, the company may depreciate the asset at a rate of Rs. 20,000 per year for a period of 5 years.

some people have argued that the reported unemployment rate actually understates the extent of unemployment . explain this reaso
Ugo [173]
This is because the unemployment rate give only takes into account people that are unemployed and are looking for work. It does not account for those that are unemployed and have given up.
ex) A woman who looses her job because of technological advances is looking for work and is considered unemployed (taken into account), however a man who has tried looking for work after he was laid off has given up (not counted)
ex) A woman lost her job during the depression and cant seem to get a job with her limited skills. She has given up and is not counted in the unemployment rate
