Assume that each task must be completed in sequence but that you can combine some tasks so that the tasks can be completed on a total of six workstations without increasing the cycle time beyond what it would be if each task had its own work station.

(3) record the admission of adison with an investment of $80,000 for a 15% interest in the equity and a 15% share in any income and loss.

Security a has a higher standard deviation of returns than security b. we would expect that: (i) security a would have a risk premium equal to security b. (ii) the likely range of returns for security a in any given year would be higher than the likely range of returns for security b. (iii) the sharpe ratio of a will be higher than the sharpe ratio of b. (a) i only (b) i and ii only (c) ii and iii only (d) i, ii and iii
