Answer:

The standard deviation of the portfolio is 26.15%

Explanation:

First the formula of variance of a portfolio is used.

Take the square root of variance to get standard deviation.

(0.3)^2 × (0.35)^2 + (0.7)^2 × (0.3)^2 + 2 × 0.3 × 0.7 × 0.35 × 0.3 × 0.3 = 0.068355

Taking square root of 0.068355 to get standard deviation that is 26.15%

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The total selling expenses for the quarter will be $25,800

Explanation:

The computation of the total selling expenses for the quarter is shown below:

= Salaries + commission + Advertising

where,

Salaries = Expected salaries × number of months in one quarter

             = $5,000 × $3

             = $15,000

Commission = (January sales +  February Sales + March Sales) × Commission percentage

= ($25,000 + $30,000 + $35,000) × 10%

= $9,000

And, the adverting equal to

= Expected advertising expenses × number of months in one quarter

= $600 × 3 months

= $1,800

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $15,000 + $9,000 + $1,800

= $25,800
