Answer:

1 Ask Fred to run team meetings in order to get to know people more quickly.

Explanation:

This alternative is the most effective to help Fred adjusting to the team and build cultural competence. There are 2 reasons: 1. The other options did not allow Fred of socializing with team members and take a lesson of them. 2. Cultural competence goes beyond knowing business rules and how to make decisions.

g100num [7]

Complete question:

Assume that your uncle holds just one stock, East Coast Bank (ECB), which he thinks has very little risk. You agree that the stock is relatively safe, but you want to demonstrate that his risk would be even lower if he were more diversified. You obtain the following returns data for West Coast Bank (WCB). Both banks have had less variability than most other stocks over the past 5 years.

Year ECB WCB

2004 40.00% 40.00%

2005 -10.00% 15.00%

2006 35.00% -5.00%

2007 -5.00% -10.00%

2008 15.00% 35.00%

a. What is the expected return and risk of each stock?

b. Measured by the standard deviation of returns, by how much would your uncle's risk have been reduced if he had held a portfolio consisting of 60% in ECB and the remainder in WCB? In other words, what is the difference between portfolio's standard deviation and weighted average of components' standard deviations? (Hint: check the example on page 11-12 on my note).

Solution:

The estimated return of the stock is the average profit.

So the average of ECB is (40-10+35-5+15)/5

= $\frac{75 percent}{5}$

= 15% expected return

WCB expected return = 40+15-5-10+35

= $\frac{75 percent}{5}$

= 15%

They've had the same planned return.

This is generally defined in the Greek letter Mu, (U) A weighted average may also be used to calculate portfolio volatility.

Standard deviation of ECB is $\sqrt{{ sum [(x-U)^2]/5}}$

so for ECB:

$(40-15)^2$ = $25^2$ =6.25%

$(-10-15)^2$ = $-35^2$ = 0.1225

$(35-15)^2$ = $20^2$ = 0.04

$(-5-15)^2$ = $-20^2$ = 0.04

$(15-15)^2$ =0

now 0.0625+0.1225+0.04+0.04+0=0.265

stdev= $\sqrt{(0.265/5)}$ = 0.23

So WCB is the same except in a different order to make things quick I'm only going to add the median again WCB=0.23

Then the 60/40 portfolio will be the "weighted average" of the returns.

portfolio returns

2004: (60%*40%)+(40%*40%) = 40%

2005: (60%*-10%)+(40%*15%) = 0%

2006: (60%*35%)+(40%*-5%) = 19%

2007: (60%*-5%)+(40%*-10%) = -7%

2008:(60%*15%)+(40%*35%) = 23%

we have an average return of (40+19-7+23)/5 = 75/5 =15%

The estimated return of all combined stocks is a better way to do so.

we knew they both had expected returns of 15% so we can say

(60%*15%)+(40%*15%)=15% so the portfolio has an expected return of 15%

Now we do the standard deviation for the whole portfolio and get

$(40-15)^2$ = $25^2$ =6.25%

$(0-15)^2$ = - $25^2$ =6.25%

$(19-15)^2$ = $4^2$ = 0.16%

$(-7-15)^2$ = $-22^2$ = -4.84%

$(23-15)^2$ = $8^2$ = 0.64%

now add them up and get 9.78%

$\sqrt{(9.78%/5)}$ = 13.98%

Therefore, the normal portfolio variance is 13.98 per cent and the predicted portfolio return is 15 per cent.

Every stock has a standard deviation of 23 per cent and an average return of 15 per cent, meaning that the fund has the same estimated return but with less standard deviation. This ensures that the same gain is less costly. It's stronger than any of these products.

Sharp Company manufactures a product for which the following standards have been set: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price

marin [14]

Answer:

1a) Actual Cost per foot = 6$

1b) Materials Price variance = 7530

1b) Spending Variance = 10830

2a) Standard Rate = 7.5 USD

2b) Standard Hours = 4804 hours

2c) Standard hours allowed = 2.09

Explanation:

As usual, let's sort out the data given:

1. For direct materials:

a) Compute the actual cost per foot of materials for March.

For actual cost per foot for materials for march. We need to find the actual quantity first. so, we will come back to it.

Data Given:

Units Produced = 2,290

Standard Quantity for Direct material = 3 feet

Standard Quantity for Direct materials = 3 x 2,290 = 6870 feet

Standard Price per foot = 5 USD

Standard Total Units = 6870

Total Price = 5 x 6870 = 34350 USD

But

Actual Price = unknown

Actual Quantity = Unknown

Actual Cost = 45,180$ company purchased the direct materials at that cost.

Material Quality Variance = Standard Price x (Actual Qty - Standard Qty)

Here in this equation, we know all the quantities except Actual Qty. let's make it subject to calculate it.

Actual Qty = 3,300/$5 + 6870

Actual Qty = 7,530

Now, as we have Actual Quantity, we can calculate the part a of part 1.

So, let's calculate a.

a) a) Compute the actual cost per foot of materials for March.

Actual cost per foot = Direct Material Cost / Actual Qty

Actual Cost per foot = 45,180/7530

Actual Cost per foot = 6$

Let's move on to part 1 b.

b) Compute the price variance and the spending variance.

Formula to calculate the Materials Price Variance is as follows:

Materials Price Variance = Actual Qty x( Actual Price - Standard Price)

Materials Price Variance = 7530 x ( 6 - 5)

Materials Price variance = 7530

Now, we have to calculate the spending variance and the formula is as follows:

Spending Variance = (Actual Price x Actual Qty) - (Standard Qty x Standard Price)

Spending Variance = (6 x 7530) - ( 6870 x 5)

Spending Variance = 10830

Let's move on to part 2 a.

a) Compute the standard direct labor rate per hour:

Formula :

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Hours

Labor rate variance = Labor spending variance - Labor efficiency variance

Labor rate variance = 3130 - 780 = 2350

In this equation, we know all the quantities but we have to find Standard rate so make it subject.

Standard Rate = 2350/4700 + 7

Standard Rate = 7.5 USD

b. Compute the standard hours allowed for the month’s production.

Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard rate x ( Actual hours - Standard Hours)

In this part, we need to find the standard hours.

let's make it the subject.

Standard hours = 780/7.5 + 4700

Standard Hours = 4804 hours

c. Compute the standard hours allowed per unit of product.

Standard hours allowed can be found by plugging in the values in the following formula.

Formula:

Standard hours allowed = Standard hours / units produced

Standard hours allowed = 4804/2,290

Standard hours allowed = 2.09
