Answer:

(A) Stock A

Explanation:

A greater standard deviation is interpreted as a volatile stock. The price of the investment changes over time with a broad range, which is undesarible for the management of  investment portafolios. There is also a correlation between risk and estimated return, when the commercial activity related with the stock has a stable performance, is commonly secure, and that is the reason why is offered a low rate of return.

In comparision with the second option, the Stock A has a greater volatility and higher return rate.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

<u> The correct answer is:</u> the changes in the situation that would result from a given action.

Explanation:

Marginal analysis is an extremely important tool for the organizational decision-making process, because through this analysis it is possible to compare costs and benefits of a financial strategy, analyzing costs and results in order to increase the company's profitability.

This therefore constitutes a cost-benefit analysis technique, for example, when buying or investing in a product, its benefits and utilities are considered, so for a marginal change to be adopted, the acquired benefits need to outweigh the costs.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

1.                                            Variable           Fixed

Cost of goods sold          70,000,000     30,000,000

Selling Expenses             12,000,000        4,000,000

Administrative Exp.           6,000,000         6,000,000

Total                                  88,000,000     40,000,000

Note:

Cost of goods sold 70% 30% on 10,000,000 for variable and Fixed respectively

Selling expenses 75% 25% on $16,000,000 for variable and Fixed respectively

Administrative expenses 50% 50% on $12,000,000 for variable and Fixed respectively

2. Unit Variable cost = Total variable cost / Units produced

Total Variable cost          88,000,000

Unit produced                  <u>1,000,000</u>

Unit variable cost             <u>      88      </u>

<u />

Unit Contribution margin = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit

Selling Price                        $188

- Variable cost per unit       <u>$88</u>

Unit Contribution margin   <u>$100</u>

<u />

3. Break even Point (Units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                    40,000,000

Contribution margin per Unit        <u>   100    </u>

Break even Point (Units)               <u>400,000</u>

<u />

4. Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                           40,000,000

Increased Fixed cost                           <u>5,000,000</u>

Total New fixed cost                          45,000,000

Contribution margin per unit              <u>     100       </u>

Break even point (units)                      <u>450,000</u>

<u />

5. Determined sales units = (New fixed cost + Desired Income) / Contribution margin

New Fixed Cost                45,000,000

Desired Income                <u>60,000,000</u>

                                         105,000,000

Contribution margin          <u>      100         </u>

per unit

Determined sales units    <u>  1,050,000</u>

<u />

6. Maximum Income from operation = Total New sales - Total New variable cost - Total Fixed cost

Sales                               188,000,000

Increased sales               <u>11,280,000</u>

Total New sales              199,289,000

Variable cost                    88,000,000

New Variable cost             5,280,000

Total New Variable cost   93,280,000

Total New Fixed cost       <u>45,000,000</u>

Maximum Income from   <u>61,000,000</u>

operation

Number of units = Increase in sales / Price per unit

New variable cost = Number of units * Unit variable cost

Increased sales                    11,280,000

Price per unit                         <u>    188     </u>

Number of units                      60,000

Unit variable cost x                  <u>88.00</u>

New Variable cost                 <u>5,280,000</u>

<u />

7. Net income = Sales - Variable cost - New fixed cost

Sales                           188,000,000

Less: Variable cost      88,000,000

Less: New fixed cost   <u>45,000,000</u>

Net Income                  <u>55,000,000</u>

<u />

8. Option b. In favour of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operation.
