Answer:
d. is a nominal variable and the price of a Honda Accord divided by the price of a Honda Civic is a real variable.
Explanation:
In domain of economics, nominal varable are value that can be measured in terms of it's monetary value of the price that exist at that particular period of time. For instance blood type and genotype.
real value on the other hand is been measured based on goods/services, it's is the value even when inflation has set in.
Answer:
920 (Unfavorable)
Explanation:
Labor rate variance = Actual direct labor hours (Actual direct labor rate - Standard direct labor rate)
Labor rate variance = 2,300 * ($21.7 - $21.3)
Labor rate variance = 2,300 * 0.4
Labor rate variance = 920 (Unfavorable)
Answer:
31.47%
Explanation:
Total investment = 4000 + 3000 +9000 = $16,000
% of investment in A = 4000/16000 = 25%
% of investment in B = 3000/16000 = 18.75%
% of investment in Asset beta and risk-free asset = 100% - 25% -18.75% = 56.25%
Let the % of investment in asset with beta of 1.74 is A, % of investment in risk free asset is B.
We have the following simultaneous equations:
0.9 = (0.25 x 1.47) + (0.1875 x 0.54) + (A x 1.74) + (B x 0)
A+B = 56.25%
From the first equation, we get A = 24.78%
--> B = 56.25% - 24.78% = 31.47%
*** Note: Portfolio beta is the weighted sum of individual asset betas, according to the proportions of the investments in the portfolio
*** Note: Beta of risk free asset is 0
