You have a $15,000 portfolio which is invested in Stocks A and B, and a risk-free asset. $6,000 is invested in Stock A. Stock A
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$7073.68

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Worth of portfolio = $15,000

Amount invested in stock A = $6,000

Beta of stock A = 1.63

Beta of stock B = 0.95

Beta of portfolio = 1.10

Now,

Beta portfolio = ∑(Weight × Beta)

let the amount invested in Stock B be 'x'

thus,

1.10 = [($6,000 ÷ $15,000 ) × 1.63] +  [( x ÷ $15,000 ) × 0.95 ]

or

1.10 = 0.652 + [( x ÷ $15,000 ) × 0.95 ]

or

0.448 = [( x ÷ $15,000 ) × 0.95 ]

or

x = ( 0.448 × $15,000 ) ÷ 0.95

or

x = $7073.68

Suver Corporation has a standard costing system. The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials
tatuchka [14]

Answer: $3.10

Explanation:

The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June will be calculated as follows:

Let the actual price be represented by x.

Material price variance is calculated as:

= (standard price-actual price) × actual quantity

-2000 = (3 × 20000) - 20000x

-2000 = 60000 - 20000x

20000x = 60000 + 2000

20000x = 62000

x = 62000/20000

x = 3.1

Therefore, the actual price per pound of direct material bought in June is $3.10
