Answer:

Consider the following calculations and explanations

Explanation:

For every 1 % change in market portfolio, the retirement portfolio would change by 1.75% .

a. If the value of the market portfolio rises by 8​%, then the value of your​ father's retirement fund should increase by 8%*1.75% = 14%

b.  If the value of the market portfolio drops by 8​%, then the value of your​ father's retirement fund should decrease by 14%

c. Your​ father's retirement portfolio is more risky than the market portfolio because your​ father's retirement portfolio​ beta, ​ it's systematic​ risk, is greater than the​ market's portfolio beta. Beta of the portfolio generally denotes the volatitlity in comparision to the market. If the beta is more , it is more volatile and risky.

Direct materials needed for production is calculated by_________.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

d. multiplying units to be produced by direct materials per unit.

Explanation:

To determine the total direct material, key parameters required are the direct material cost per unit and the number of units to be produced. The product of these two parameters gives the direct material cost required for production.

For example, if there are 10 units of an item to be produced and the direct material cost per unit is $4, the direct material cost needed for production is $40 derived from the product of the number of units and the direct material cost per unit.

Therefore, the right option is d. multiplying units to be produced by direct materials per unit.

Due to customer no-shows, the Inn at Charlotte hotel is considering implementing overbooking. The Inn at Charlotte has 150 rooms
kirill [66]

Answer:

The unit=9

Explanation:

The Cost of underage Cu= price -cost =200-0 =200 ( as there is no variable cost of the unsold room)

Cost of overage Co= cost - salvage value = 0 -(-325) =325

Service level = Cu / Cu+Co = 200/ 325+200 = 0.3809

which corresponds to the z value of -0.3

the optimum overbooking = mean + z x SD

= 10+ 3 x (-0.3) =9
